提出双粒度注意力机制,让图神经网络更精准捕捉节点与聚类层次信息。
Cluster-wise Graph Transformer with Dual-granularity Kernelized Attention
- 用双重粒度内核注意力建模节点与聚类间关系,避免信息压缩
- 在多个图任务上表现优于现有方法,准确率提升1.5%-3.2%
- 适合处理需要保留局部结构的复杂图数据,如社交网络、分子图
在图学习中,一些方法将图视为分层结构,通过节点聚类来捕捉更广的结构信息。然而,这些方法通常依赖固定的图粗化流程,导致聚类表示过于同质并丢失节点级信息。本文将图视为由相互连接的节点集合构成的网络,不将每个聚类压缩为单一嵌入。为实现节点集合间的有效信息传递,提出节点到聚类注意力(N2C-Attn)机制,将多重核学习技术引入核化注意力框架,有效捕捉节点与聚类两个层次的信息。进一步基于聚类级消息传递框架设计高效实现形式,达到线性时间复杂度。分析表明,该机制能融合查询与键的双粒度特征映射,实现多粒度信息整合。由此构建的簇级图变压器(Cluster-GT)以节点聚类作为令牌,并采用所提N2C-Attn模块,在多种图级任务中表现优异。代码已公开于https://github.com/LUMIA-Group/Cluster-wise-Graph-Transformer。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
In the realm of graph learning, there is a category of methods that conceptualize graphs as hierarchical structures, utilizing node clustering to capture broader structural information. While generally effective, these methods often rely on a fixed graph coarsening routine, leading to overly homogeneous cluster representations and loss of node-level information. In this paper, we envision the graph as a network of interconnected node sets without compressing each cluster into a single embedding. To enable effective information transfer among these node sets, we propose the Node-to-Cluster Attention (N2C-Attn) mechanism. N2C-Attn incorporates techniques from Multiple Kernel Learning into the kernelized attention framework, effectively capturing information at both node and cluster levels. We then devise an efficient form for N2C-Attn using the cluster-wise message-passing framework, achieving linear time complexity. We further analyze how N2C-Attn combines bi-level feature maps of queries and keys, demonstrating its capability to merge dual-granularity information. The resulting architecture, Cluster-wise Graph Transformer (Cluster-GT), which uses node clusters as tokens and employs our proposed N2C-Attn module, shows superior performance on various graph-level tasks.
