通过分球机制捕捉图结构多粒度位置信息,提升链接预测性能
Multi-Granularity Position Embedding of Graphs via Granular-Ball for Link Prediction

- 用自适应分球法将图划分为不同粒度的同质子域,生成层级中心图
- 提出多粒度层次距离编码,有效捕捉子域内及子域间的结构关系
- 相比基线方法在多个数据集上表现更优,适合图结构建模任务
链接预测旨在识别给定图结构中的潜在或未来连接。位置信息对链接预测至关重要,能通过节点间相对关系区分同质节点,准确捕捉结构模式与隐含连接。以往研究仅以单粒度地标(同质区域中心)的距离表示位置信息,忽略了同质结构的多粒度特性及其层级关联。本文提出多粒度图位置嵌入方法MGLP,通过自适应分球图精炼机制,将图动态划分为最优粒度的同质子域,子域中心作为地标构成层级中心图。同时提出新型多粒度层次距离编码机制,捕获图中同质结构及其层级相关性,增强节点区分能力。实验表明,该方法生成的多粒度位置嵌入在链接预测任务中表现优异,显著优于基线算法。代码已公开于https://anonymous.4open.science/r/MGLP-D3C5/。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Link prediction aims to identify potential or future connections within a given graph structure. Position information is essential for link prediction, as it distinguishes homogeneous nodes through their relative relationships, facilitating the accurate capture of structural patterns and implicit connections. Previous studies derive node positional information as distances to single-granularity landmarks, defined as the centers of homophilic regions, while neglecting the multi-granularity nature of homophilic structures and their hierarchical interrelations. We propose the Multi-Granularity Position Embedding of Graphs via Granular-Ball for Link Prediction (MGLP) method to obtain multi-granularity position embedding of graphs. Specifically, MGLP introduces an Adaptive Granular-Ball Graph Refinement mechanism to adaptively refine the graph into homophilic subdomains with optimal levels of granularity. The central nodes within subdomains are treated as landmarks, which form a Hierarchical Central Graph. Moreover, a novel Multi-granularity Hierarchical Distance encoding mechanism is proposed to capture both the homophilic structures within a graph and their hierarchical correlations, improving the discriminative power of nodes. Experimental results demonstrate that the multi-granularity position embedding generated by our method exhibits excellent performance and strong competitiveness compared to baseline algorithms for link prediction.
