Hybrid Augmented Automated Graph Contrastive Learning
share
Graph augmentations are essential for graph contrastive learning. Most existing works use pre-defined random augmentations, which are usually unable to adapt to different input graphs and fail to consider the impact of different nodes and edges on graph semantics. To address this issue, we propose a framework called Hybrid Augmented Automated Graph Contrastive Learning (HAGCL). HAGCL consists of a feature-level learnable view generator and an edge-level learnable view generator. The view generators are end-to-end differentiable to learn the probability distribution of views conditioned on the input graph. It insures to learn the most semantically meaningful structure in terms of features and topology, respectively. Furthermore, we propose an improved joint training strategy, which can achieve better results than previous works without resorting to any weak label information in the downstream tasks and extensive evaluation of additional work.
