摘要:

Network and graph data have been popularly used in describing a large body of real-world applications arranging from social networks, biological graphs, citation networks to transaction data. In order to obtain knowledge from network data, various machine learning models on networks have been proposed such as graph embedding models and graph neural networks. From the perspective of graph embedding models, attributed network embedding represents a new branch of models which aims to obtain knowledge from attributed networks where both attributes of nodes and links between nodes are observable for learning. Existing attributed network embedding models enable joint representation learning of node links and attributes. These models, however, are all designed in continuous Euclidean spaces which often introduce data redundancy and thus impose challenges to storage and computation costs on large-scale networks. On the other hand, from the perspective of graph neural networks(GNNs), existing graph neural networks built on attributed networks are based on manually designed graph neural architectures which often require heavy manual work and rich domain knowledge.

This talk will present a new problem of discrete and automated representation learning for network data. From the perspective of network embedding, a new class of attributed network embedding models that can learn discrete node representations is proposed to reduce data redundancy and eventually reduce storage and computation costs on attributed network data. From the perspective of graph neural networks, a graph neural architecture search algorithm (GraphNAS) is proposed that enables automatic design of the best graph neural architecture based on reinforcement learning. Theoretical and empirical studies on real-world attributed network datasets show that the proposed discrete embedding models outperform state-of-the-art attributed network embedding methods. Moreover, the new graph neural architecture search algorithm GraphNAS can design novel network architectures that rival the best human-invented architectures in terms of validation set accuracy.
