统一的双曲图表示学习框架,便于方法比较与复现。
A Unified Framework of Hyperbolic Graph Representation Learning Methods
- 构建统一接口整合多种双曲嵌入方法。
- 在真实网络上验证了双曲嵌入在链接预测与节点分类上的表现。
- 提供可复现的实验设置,适合研究者对比与选型。
双曲几何因其能以低维嵌入捕捉复杂网络的层次结构和异质连接模式,已成为表示复杂网络的有效潜在空间。近年来涌现出众多双曲图表示学习方法,但其实际应用与系统性比较仍面临挑战,主要因实现分散且缺乏可复现、公平评估的共享工具。本文提出一个统一的开源框架,将多种广泛使用的嵌入方法集成于统一优化接口下。该框架支持一致的训练、可视化与评估,并与标准网络分析工具无缝衔接。基于此统一平台,我们在真实网络上对双曲嵌入方法进行了实验研究,聚焦链接预测与节点分类两个典型下游任务。除预测精度外,研究还提供了现有方法优缺点的实用洞察,有助于方法选择并推动双曲图表示学习的可复现研究。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Hyperbolic geometry has emerged as an effective latent space for representing complex networks, owing to its ability to capture hierarchical organization and heterogeneous connectivity patterns using low-dimensional embeddings. As a result, numerous hyperbolic graph representation learning methods have been proposed in recent years. However, their practical adoption and systematic comparison remain challenging, as implementations are fragmented and shared tools for reproducible and fair evaluation are lacking. In this work, we introduce a unified open-source framework for hyperbolic graph representation learning that integrates several widely used embedding methods under a common optimization interface. The novel framework enables consistent training, visualization, and evaluation of hyperbolic embeddings, and interfaces seamlessly with standard network analysis tools. Leveraging this unified setup, we conduct an experimental study of hyperbolic embedding methods on real-world networks, focusing on two canonical downstream tasks: link prediction and node classification. Beyond predictive accuracy, the study offers practical insights into the strengths and limitations of existing approaches, thereby facilitating informed method selection and fostering reproducible research in hyperbolic graph representation learning.
