不靠深层传播,用组合打分实现异质图节点分类
Interpretable and Adaptive Node Classification on Heterophilic Graphs via Combinatorial Scoring and Hybrid Learning
- 用加性评分函数融合先验、邻域统计等多源信息打分
- 在异质图上性能媲美先进GNN,且推理速度更快
- 可解释性强,适合需要透明决策的场景
图神经网络在同质图上表现良好,但在异质图(相邻节点常属不同类别)上往往失效。本文提出一种基于显式组合推理而非深层消息传递的可解释自适应节点分类框架。通过融合类别先验、邻域统计、特征相似度及训练获得的标签兼容性,构建加性评分函数,配合置信度排序的贪心算法分配标签。少量透明超参数控制各成分权重,实现同质与异质场景间的平滑切换。进一步引入验证门控混合策略:仅当提升验证性能时,才将组合预测作为先验注入轻量神经模型进行优化,避免不必要的黑箱化。所有适应信号均仅从训练数据计算,确保评估无泄漏。在异质及过渡性基准测试中,性能优于或媲美主流GNN,同时具备更强可解释性、可调性和计算效率。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Graph neural networks (GNNs) achieve strong performance on homophilic graphs but often struggle under heterophily, where adjacent nodes frequently belong to different classes. We propose an interpretable and adaptive framework for semi-supervised node classification based on explicit combinatorial inference rather than deep message passing. Our method assigns labels using a confidence-ordered greedy procedure driven by an additive scoring function that integrates class priors, neighborhood statistics, feature similarity, and training-derived label-label compatibility. A small set of transparent hyperparameters controls the relative influence of these components, enabling smooth adaptation between homophilic and heterophilic regimes. We further introduce a validation-gated hybrid strategy in which combinatorial predictions are optionally injected as priors into a lightweight neural model. Hybrid refinement is applied only when it improves validation performance, preserving interpretability when neuralization is unnecessary. All adaptation signals are computed strictly from training data, ensuring a leakage-free evaluation protocol. Experiments on heterophilic and transitional benchmarks demonstrate competitive performance with modern GNNs while offering advantages in interpretability, tunability, and computational efficiency.
