Semi-Supervised Classification with Graph Convolutional Kernel Machines
share
We present a deep Graph Convolutional Kernel Machine (GCKM) for semi-supervised node classification in graphs. First, we introduce an unsupervised kernel machine propagating the node features in a one-hop neighbourhood. Then, we specify a semi-supervised classification kernel machine through the lens of the Fenchel-Young inequality. The deep graph convolutional kernel machine is obtained by stacking multiple shallow kernel machines. After showing that unsupervised and semi-supervised layer corresponds to an eigenvalue problem and a linear system on the aggregated node features, respectively, we derive an efficient end-to-end training algorithm in the dual variables. Numerical experiments demonstrate that our approach is competitive with state-of-the-art graph neural networks for homophilious and heterophilious benchmark datasets. Notably, GCKM achieves superior performance when very few labels are available.
