NDGGNET-A Node Independent Gate based Graph Neural Networks
share
Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) is an architecture for structural data, and has been adopted in a mass of tasks and achieved fabulous results, such as link prediction, node classification, graph classification and so on. Generally, for a certain node in a given graph, a traditional GNN layer can be regarded as an aggregation from one-hop neighbors, thus a set of stacked layers are able to fetch and update node status within multi-hops. For nodes with sparse connectivity, it is difficult to obtain enough information through a single GNN layer as not only there are only few nodes directly connected to them but also can not propagate the high-order neighbor information. However, as the number of layer increases, the GNN model is prone to over-smooth for nodes with the dense connectivity, which resulting in the decrease of accuracy. To tackle this issue, in this thesis, we define a novel framework that allows the normal GNN model to accommodate more layers. Specifically, a node-degree based gate is employed to adjust weight of layers dynamically, that try to enhance the information aggregation ability and reduce the probability of over-smoothing. Experimental results show that our proposed model can effectively increase the model depth and perform well on several datasets.
