图结构数据的质量直接影响图分析技术(如图神经网络)的成效。然而真实世界中的图数据常存在噪声和连接不完整等问题。图结构学习(GSL)虽能自适应优化节点连接,但普遍存在边数大幅增加的问题,导致存储和计算开销显著上升。我们发现,这主要源于普遍采用的基于相似性的边构建方式——仅连接嵌入相似的邻居,造成大量结构冗余。为此,我们提出一种新的信息论引导的图结构学习方法(InGSL),在边构建中同时考虑相似性与多样性。InGSL可作为即插即用模块集成至现有GSL框架。在六个代表性GSL方法上的实验表明,InGSL在显著减少边数的同时实现了性能提升。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
The quality of graph-structured data is fundamental to the success of modern graph analysis techniques such as Graph Neural Networks (GNNs). However, real-world graph data is often suboptimal, suffering from issues such as noise and incomplete connections. Graph Structure Learning (GSL) has emerged as a promising technique that adaptively optimizes node connections. However, we observe that the effectiveness of GSL often comes at the cost of a dramatic expansion in edge count, resulting in significant storage and computational overhead. In this work, we reveal that this limitation stems from the prevalent use of similarity-based edge construction, which predominantly connects highly similar neighbors based on their embeddings, introducing substantial structure redundancy. To address this, we propose a novel Informative Graph Structure Learning method (InGSL), which jointly considers both similarity and diversity in edge construction by incorporating a mutual-information-guided learning strategy. Notably, InGSL serves as a plug-in module that can be seamlessly integrated into existing GSL frameworks. Through extensive experiments on six representative GSL methods, we demonstrate that InGSL achieves significant performance improvements at a reduced number of edges.
