Graph network analysis, which achieves widely application, is to explore and mine the graph structure data. However, existing graph network analysis methods with graph representation learning technique ignore the correlation between multiple graph network analysis tasks, and they need massive repeated calculation to obtain each graph network analysis results. Or they cannot adaptively balance the relative importance of multiple graph network analysis tasks, that lead to weak model fitting. Besides, most of existing methods ignore multiplex views semantic information and global graph information, which fail to learn robust node embeddings resulting in unsatisfied graph analysis results. To solve these issues, we propose a multi-task multi-view adaptive graph network representation learning model, called Magl. The highlights of Magl are as follows: (1) Graph convolutional network with the linear combination of the adjacency matrix and PPMI (positive point-wise mutual information) matrix is utilized as encoder to extract the local and global intra-view graph feature information of the multiplex graph network. Each intra-view graph information of the multiplex graph network can adaptively learn the parameters of graph encoder. (2) We use regularization to capture the interaction information among different graph views, and the importance of different graph views are learned by view attention mechanism for further inter-view graph network fusion. (3) The model is trained oriented by multiple graph network analysis tasks. The relative importance of multiple graph network analysis tasks are adjusted adaptively with the homoscedastic uncertainty. The regularization can be considered as an auxiliary task to further boost the performance. Experiments on real-worlds attributed multiplex graph networks demonstrate the effectiveness of Magl in comparison with other competing approaches.
图网络分析广泛应用于探索和挖掘图结构数据。然而,现有的基于图表示学习技术的图网络分析方法忽略了多个图网络分析任务之间的相关性,需要大量重复计算才能获得每个图网络分析结果。或者,它们不能自适应地平衡多个图网络分析任务的相对重要性,导致模型拟合能力较弱。此外,大多数现有的方法忽略了多重视图语义信息和全局图信息,无法学习到稳健的节点嵌入,导致图分析结果不理想。为了解决这些问题,我们提出了一种多任务多视图自适应图网络表示学习模型,称为 Magl。Magl 的亮点如下:(1)利用邻接矩阵和 PPMI(正点互信息)矩阵的线性组合的图卷积网络作为编码器,提取多路图网络的局部和全局内视图图特征信息。多路图网络的每个内视图图信息都可以自适应地学习图编码器的参数。(2)我们使用正则化来捕捉不同图视图之间的交互信息,并通过视图注意力机制学习不同图视图的重要性,以便进一步进行视图间图网络融合。(3)该模型以多个图网络分析任务为导向进行训练。通过同方差不确定性自适应调整多个图网络分析任务的相对重要性。正则化可以被视为一个辅助任务,以进一步提高性能。在真实属性多重图网络上的实验表明,与其他竞争方法相比,Magl 的有效性。
