链接预测对揭示复杂网络中的隐藏关系至关重要,可用于发现潜在客户与产品。然而,该研究面临数据隐私担忧及高计算与存储成本,尤其在大规模网络中。压缩图因其远小于原始图却保留关键信息,成为兼顾数据效用与隐私保护的有效方案。现有方法多通过随机选择节点初始化合成图,忽略节点连通性,且主要针对节点分类任务,其在隐私保护链接预测中的潜力尚未探索。本文提出HyDRO⁺,一种基于代数杰卡德相似性的图压缩方法,利用局部连通性信息优化压缩图结构。在4个真实网络上的大量实验表明,该方法在平衡链接预测准确率与隐私保护方面优于现有最优方法,甚至超越原始网络。此外,在Computers数据集上,相比原始网络上的链接预测,训练速度提升近20倍,存储需求降低452倍。这是首次将压缩图应用于真实复杂网络中隐私保护的链接预测信息共享。该工作为在保护隐私的同时保留链接预测能力提供了可行路径,推动了图压缩在大规模隐私敏感网络中的应用。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Link prediction is crucial for uncovering hidden connections within complex networks, enabling applications such as identifying potential customers and products. However, this research faces significant challenges, including concerns about data privacy, as well as high computational and storage costs, especially when dealing with large-scale networks. Condensed graphs, which are much smaller than the original graphs while retaining essential information, has become an effective solution to both maintain data utility and preserve privacy. Existing methods, however, initialize synthetic graphs through random node selection without considering node connectivity, and are mainly designed for node classification tasks. As a result, their potential for privacy-preserving link prediction remains largely unexplored. We introduce HyDRO\textsuperscript{+}, a graph condensation method guided by algebraic Jaccard similarity, which leverages local connectivity information to optimize condensed graph structures. Extensive experiments on four real-world networks show that our method outperforms state-of-the-art methods and even the original networks in balancing link prediction accuracy and privacy preservation. Moreover, our method achieves nearly 20* faster training and reduces storage requirements by 452*, as demonstrated on the Computers dataset, compared to link prediction on the original networks. This work represents the first attempt to leverage condensed graphs for privacy-preserving link prediction information sharing in real-world complex networks. It offers a promising pathway for preserving link prediction information while safeguarding privacy, advancing the use of graph condensation in large-scale networks with privacy concerns.
