图表示学习旨在将复杂的高维图结构转化为紧凑的向量空间,以保留拓扑和语义信息。基于子图的方法为符号模式发现与连续嵌入学习之间提供了可解释的桥梁。然而,现有频繁或判别性子图挖掘方法常存在多阶段流程冗余、计算成本高以及挖掘结构与判别相关性弱的问题。我们提出DS-Span,一个单阶段判别性子图挖掘框架,将模式生长、剪枝与监督驱动评分统一于一次搜索空间遍历中。DS-Span引入覆盖上限的可选机制,一旦图被充分表示即动态限制探索;并采用信息增益引导选择策略,优先保留具有强类别区分能力且冗余低的子图。生成的子图集合作为下游图嵌入与分类的高效、可解释基础。大量实验证明,相比先前多阶段方法,DS-Span生成的子图特征更紧凑、更具判别性,在显著降低运行时间的同时实现更高或相当的准确率。结果凸显了统一的单阶段判别性挖掘在可扩展、可解释图表示学习中的潜力。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Graph representation learning seeks to transform complex, high-dimensional graph structures into compact vector spaces that preserve both topology and semantics. Among the various strategies, subgraph-based methods provide an interpretable bridge between symbolic pattern discovery and continuous embedding learning. Yet, existing frequent or discriminative subgraph mining approaches often suffer from redundant multi-phase pipelines, high computational cost, and weak coupling between mined structures and their discriminative relevance. We propose DS-Span, a single-phase discriminative subgraph mining framework that unifies pattern growth, pruning, and supervision-driven scoring within one traversal of the search space. DS-Span introduces a coverage-capped eligibility mechanism that dynamically limits exploration once a graph is sufficiently represented, and an information-gain-guided selection that promotes subgraphs with strong class-separating ability while minimizing redundancy. The resulting subgraph set serves as an efficient, interpretable basis for downstream graph embedding and classification. Extensive experiments across benchmarks demonstrate that DS-Span generates more compact and discriminative subgraph features than prior multi-stage methods, achieving higher or comparable accuracy with significantly reduced runtime. These results highlight the potential of unified, single-phase discriminative mining as a foundation for scalable and interpretable graph representation learning.
