Spectral Heterogeneous Graph Convolutions via Positive Noncommutative Polynomials
share
Heterogeneous Graph Neural Networks (HGNNs) have gained significant popularity in various heterogeneous graph learning tasks. However, most HGNNs rely on spatial domain-based message passing and attention modules for information propagation and aggregation. These spatial-based HGNNs neglect the utilization of spectral graph convolutions, which are the foundation of Graph Convolutional Networks (GCN) on homogeneous graphs. Inspired by the effectiveness and scalability of spectral-based GNNs on homogeneous graphs, this paper explores the extension of spectral-based GNNs to heterogeneous graphs. We propose PSHGCN, a novel heterogeneous convolutional network based on positive noncommutative polynomials. PSHGCN provides a simple yet effective approach for learning spectral graph convolutions on heterogeneous graphs. Moreover, we demonstrate the rationale of PSHGCN in graph optimization. We conducted an extensive experimental study to show that PSHGCN can learn diverse spectral heterogeneous graph convolutions and achieve superior performance in node classification tasks.
