Heterogeneous Graph Condensation via Role-Aware Clustering

- 用轻量传播提取语义嵌入,再分角色聚类保留类别与连接
- 在多个异构图上保持90%以上性能,推理速度提升5倍以上
- 适合大规模异构图场景,尤其适用于资源受限的部署
异构图神经网络在建模多类型节点与关系的复杂系统中表现优异,但在大规模异构图上的训练仍存在计算瓶颈。现有图压缩方法多针对同质图,依赖高成本梯度匹配或双层优化,难以应用于异构场景。为此,本文提出HGC-RC,一种简单有效的角色感知异构图压缩框架。首先通过轻量传播提取语义增强的节点嵌入;随后采用角色感知混合聚类策略:对有标签的目标节点进行类别分区聚类以保留类别分布,对非目标节点进行无监督类型内聚类以维持关键跨类型连接;最后基于聚类结果高效重构紧凑异构图。大量实验表明,HGC-RC显著优于当前最优基线,在多个数据集上保持90%以上原始性能,推理速度提升5倍以上,为大规模异构图上HGNN训练提供实用加速路径。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Heterogeneous Graph Neural Networks (HGNNs) have exhibited remarkable efficacy in modeling complex systems with multiple types of nodes and relations, yet their training on large-scale heterogeneous graphs remains computationally prohibitive. Although graph condensation methods can effectively improve learning efficiency on large-scale graphs, existing condensation processes are mainly designed for homogeneous graphs and typically rely on computationally expensive gradient matching or bilevel optimization paradigms, rendering them impractical for heterogeneous settings. To address these limitations, we propose HGC-RC, a simple yet effective role-aware heterogeneous graph condensation framework. Specifically, HGC-RC first extracts semantically enhanced node embeddings via lightweight propagation. It then introduces a role-aware hybrid clustering strategy consisting of class-partitioned clustering for labeled target nodes to preserve class distributions and unsupervised type-wise clustering for non-target nodes to retain critical cross-type connectivity. Finally, a compact heterogeneous graph is efficiently reconstructed based on the resulting cluster assignments. Extensive experiments demonstrate that HGC-RC outperforms state-of-the-art baselines, offering a practical pathway to accelerate HGNN training on large-scale heterogeneous graphs without sacrificing task performance
