图域适应(GDA)通过学习领域不变表征,实现从有标签源图到无标签目标图的知识迁移,在分子属性预测与社交网络分析等场景中至关重要。然而,现有GDA方法多依赖于干净标签假设,而真实场景中标签噪声普遍存在,严重干扰特征对齐并恶化域适应性能。为此,本文提出嵌套图伪标签精炼(NeGPR)框架,专门应对存在标签噪声的图级域适应。NeGPR首先通过在特征空间强制邻域一致性,预训练语义与拓扑双分支,以减少噪声监督的影响。为弥合领域差异,采用嵌套精炼机制,一个分支选取高置信度目标样本引导另一分支的适应,实现渐进式跨域学习。此外,由于伪标签可能仍含噪声,且预训练分支已在源域过拟合于噪声标签,因此引入噪声感知正则化策略。该策略理论上可缓解伪标签噪声的负面影响,即使在源域过拟合情况下亦能增强适应过程的鲁棒性。大量实验表明,NeGPR在基准数据集上持续优于现有先进方法,在严重标签噪声下准确率最高提升12.7%。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Graph Domain Adaptation (GDA) facilitates knowledge transfer from labeled source graphs to unlabeled target graphs by learning domain-invariant representations, which is essential in applications such as molecular property prediction and social network analysis. However, most existing GDA methods rely on the assumption of clean source labels, which rarely holds in real-world scenarios where annotation noise is pervasive. This label noise severely impairs feature alignment and degrades adaptation performance under domain shifts. To address this challenge, we propose Nested Graph Pseudo-Label Refinement (NeGPR), a novel framework tailored for graph-level domain adaptation with noisy labels. NeGPR first pretrains dual branches, i.e., semantic and topology branches, by enforcing neighborhood consistency in the feature space, thereby reducing the influence of noisy supervision. To bridge domain gaps, NeGPR employs a nested refinement mechanism in which one branch selects high-confidence target samples to guide the adaptation of the other, enabling progressive cross-domain learning. Furthermore, since pseudo-labels may still contain noise and the pre-trained branches are already overfitted to the noisy labels in the source domain, NeGPR incorporates a noise-aware regularization strategy. This regularization is theoretically proven to mitigate the adverse effects of pseudo-label noise, even under the presence of source overfitting, thus enhancing the robustness of the adaptation process. Extensive experiments on benchmark datasets demonstrate that NeGPR consistently outperforms state-of-the-art methods under severe label noise, achieving gains of up to 12.7% in accuracy.
