Sparse Causal Discovery with Generative Intervention for Unsupervised Graph Domain Adaptation
- 构建稀疏因果图,用信息瓶颈分离稳定因果特征。
- 生成式干预打破局部虚假关联,保持因果特征一致性。
- 动态校准伪标签,缓解目标域误差累积问题。
无监督图域适应(UGDA)利用有标签源域图数据,在分布偏移下实现无标签目标域的有效性能。然而,现有方法因因果与虚假特征纠缠及全局对齐策略失效而表现不佳。本文提出SLOGAN(Sparse Causal Discovery with Generative Intervention),通过稀疏因果建模与动态干预机制实现稳定的图表示迁移。具体地,SLOGAN首先构建稀疏因果图结构,借助互信息瓶颈约束解耦稀疏、稳定的因果特征,并通过变分推断压缩依赖于域的虚假相关性。为消除残余虚假相关性,创新设计生成式干预机制,通过跨域特征重组打破局部虚假耦合,同时利用协方差约束保持因果特征语义一致。此外,引入类别自适应动态校准策略,缓解目标域伪标签中的误差累积,确保稳定判别学习。在多个真实世界数据集上的大量实验表明,SLOGAN显著优于现有基线方法。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Unsupervised Graph Domain Adaptation (UGDA) leverages labeled source domain graphs to achieve effective performance in unlabeled target domains despite distribution shifts. However, existing methods often yield suboptimal results due to the entanglement of causal-spurious features and the failure of global alignment strategies. We propose SLOGAN (Sparse Causal Discovery with Generative Intervention), a novel approach that achieves stable graph representation transfer through sparse causal modeling and dynamic intervention mechanisms. Specifically, SLOGAN first constructs a sparse causal graph structure, leveraging mutual information bottleneck constraints to disentangle sparse, stable causal features while compressing domain-dependent spurious correlations through variational inference. To address residual spurious correlations, we innovatively design a generative intervention mechanism that breaks local spurious couplings through cross-domain feature recombination while maintaining causal feature semantic consistency via covariance constraints. Furthermore, to mitigate error accumulation in target domain pseudo-labels, we introduce a category-adaptive dynamic calibration strategy, ensuring stable discriminative learning. Extensive experiments on multiple real-world datasets demonstrate that SLOGAN significantly outperforms existing baselines.
