用Transformer+位置编码实现更精准的图链接预测。

Generalized Graph Transformer Variational Autoencoder

  • 引入广义图Transformer与变分自编码框架,无需消息传递
  • 在多个基准数据集上ROC-AUC和平均精度均超越基线
  • 适合关注图结构生成与自注意力机制的读者

图链接预测在图表示学习中长期是核心问题,涉及网络分析与生成建模。深度学习发展推动了复杂架构的出现以捕捉图数据中的关系依赖。本文提出广义图Transformer变分自编码器(GGT-VAE),将广义图Transformer架构与变分自编码器框架结合用于链接预测。与以往的GraphVAE、GCN或GNN方法不同,GGT-VAE利用Transformer风格的全局自注意力机制与拉普拉斯位置编码,在不依赖消息传递的前提下,将节点间的结构模式映射到潜在空间。在多个基准数据集上的实验表明,GGT-VAE在ROC-AUC与平均精度指标上均持续优于基线模型。据我们所知,这是首个在变分框架下探索以广义图Transformer为骨干进行图结构生成的研究。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Graph link prediction has long been a central problem in graph representation learning in both network analysis and generative modeling. Recent progress in deep learning has introduced increasingly sophisticated architectures for capturing relational dependencies within graph-structured data. In this work, we propose the Generalized Graph Transformer Variational Autoencoder (GGT-VAE). Our model integrates Generalized Graph Transformer Architecture with Variational Autoencoder framework for link prediction. Unlike prior GraphVAE, GCN, or GNN approaches, GGT-VAE leverages transformer style global self-attention mechanism along with laplacian positional encoding to model structural patterns across nodes into a latent space without relying on message passing. Experimental results on several benchmark datasets demonstrate that GGT-VAE consistently achieves above-baseline performance in terms of ROC-AUC and Average Precision. To the best of our knowledge, this is among the first studies to explore graph structure generation using a generalized graph transformer backbone in a variational framework.
