PTCL: Pseudo-Label Temporal Curriculum Learning for Label-Limited Dynamic Graph
- 分离时序表示与解码器,通过伪标签构建时间递进学习路径。
- 采用指数衰减加权策略,优先利用接近终时的伪标签进行训练。
- 提出统一框架FLiD,支持多种模型与数据集,适配标签受限场景。
动态节点分类对建模金融交易、学术合作等演化系统至关重要。通常需每个时间戳的完整标签,但现实中因标注成本高、标签不确定性(如欺诈检测中的模糊或延迟标签)难以获取。相比之下,终时标签较易获得,因依赖完整时序模式,在多数开放平台中作为用户唯一标签保存。为此,我们提出PTCL(伪标签时间课程学习),首个解决仅有终时标签情况下的动态节点分类方法。PTCL引入:(1) 时间解耦架构,分离骨干网络(学习时序感知表征)与解码器(严格对齐终时标签生成伪标签);(2) 时间课程学习策略,使用指数衰减函数为越接近终时的伪标签赋予更高权重。我们构建了新学术数据集CoOAG,捕捉长期研究兴趣演化。实验证明,PTCL在多个真实场景下持续优于现有方法。此外,我们提出统一框架FLiD(标签受限动态节点分类框架),包含完整数据准备流程、训练管道与评估标准,支持多种模型与数据集。代码见https://github.com/3205914485/FLiD。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Dynamic node classification is critical for modeling evolving systems like financial transactions and academic collaborations. In such systems, dynamically capturing node information changes is critical for dynamic node classification, which usually requires all labels at every timestamp. However, it is difficult to collect all dynamic labels in real-world scenarios due to high annotation costs and label uncertainty (e.g., ambiguous or delayed labels in fraud detection). In contrast, final timestamp labels are easier to obtain as they rely on complete temporal patterns and are usually maintained as a unique label for each user in many open platforms, without tracking the history data. To bridge this gap, we propose PTCL(Pseudo-label Temporal Curriculum Learning), a pioneering method addressing label-limited dynamic node classification where only final labels are available. PTCL introduces: (1) a temporal decoupling architecture separating the backbone (learning time-aware representations) and decoder (strictly aligned with final labels), which generate pseudo-labels, and (2) a Temporal Curriculum Learning strategy that prioritizes pseudo-labels closer to the final timestamp by assigning them higher weights using an exponentially decaying function. We contribute a new academic dataset (CoOAG), capturing long-range research interest in dynamic graph. Experiments across real-world scenarios demonstrate PTCL's consistent superiority over other methods adapted to this task. Beyond methodology, we propose a unified framework FLiD (Framework for Label-Limited Dynamic Node Classification), consisting of a complete preparation workflow, training pipeline, and evaluation standards, and supporting various models and datasets.
