自监督持续图学习(CGL)旨在无标签监督下依次从图序列中学习不同任务,受到广泛关注。现有方法多依赖实例级一致性目标,强制单个节点(或节点对)嵌入的稳定性,但由于孤立优化节点,无法维持全局关系结构,导致持续学习中节点对应关系逐渐扭曲。为此,我们提出结构感知最优传输(SAOT)框架,显式捕捉并保留图表示中跨任务的关联结构。具体而言,SAOT利用最优传输理论建模全局节点对应关系,促进图表示学习;同时引入跨任务知识蒸馏机制,保留先前的结构知识。在四个CGL基准数据集上的大量实验表明,SAOT优于现有自监督基线方法。尤其在类增量学习(Class-IL)设置下,相比最先进方法,其在CoraFull-CL上平均准确率提升最高达5%,在Products-CL上提升超过15%。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Self-supervised Continual Graph Learning (CGL) aims to successively learn from a graph sequence with different tasks without label supervision - a paradigm that has attracted widespread attention. Most existing self-supervised CGL methods rely on instance-level consistency objectives that enforce stability of individual node (or node-pair) embeddings. Due to optimizing nodes in isolation, these methods fail to maintain global relational structure, causing inter-node correspondences to progressively distort under continual learning. To this end, we propose a novel Structure-Aware Optimal Transport (SAOT) framework that explicitly captures and preserves relational structure within graph representations across sequential tasks. Specifically, SAOT leverages optimal transport theory to capture global inter-node correspondences, thereby facilitating and enhancing graph representation learning. Simultaneously, SAOT incorporates a cross-task knowledge distillation mechanism to preserve the previous structural knowledge. Extensive experiments on four CGL benchmark datasets demonstrate that SAOT outperforms existing self-supervised baselines. In particular, SAOT achieves significant performance gains, improving average accuracy by up to 5% on CoraFull-CL and over 15% on Products-CL compared with state-of-the-art methods in the Class-IL setting.
