• Abstract: Graph neural networks (GNNs) have achieved state-of-the-art performance for node classification on graphs. The vast majority of existing works assume that genuine node labels are always provided for training. However, there has been very little research effort on how to improve the robustness of GNNs in the presence of label noise. Learning with label noise has been primarily studied in the context of image classification, but these techniques cannot be directly applied to graph-structured data, due to two major challenges -- label sparsity and label dependency -- faced by learning on graphs. In this paper, we propose a new framework, UnionNET, for learning with noisy labels on graphs under a semi-supervised setting. Our approach provides a unified solution for robustly training GNNs and performing label correction simultaneously. The key idea is to perform label aggregation to estimate node-level class probability distributions, which are used to guide sample reweighting and label correction. Compared with existing works, UnionNET has two appealing advantages. First, it requires no extra clean supervision, or explicit estimation of the noise transition matrix. Second, a unified learning framework is proposed to robustly train GNNs in an end-to-end manner. Experimental results show that our proposed approach: (1) is effective in improving model robustness against different types and levels of label noise; (2) yields significant improvements over state-of-the-art baselines.

  We propose a method called ERASE (Error-Resilient representation learning on graphs for lAbel noiSe tolerancE) to learn representations with error tolerance. ERASE combines prototype pseudo-labels with propagated denoised labels and updates representations with error resilience. Our method can outperform multiple baselines with clear margins in broad noise levels and enjoy great scalability.

  We develop a novel approach dubbed Consistent Graph Neural Network (CGNN) to solve the problem of learning on graphs with label noise. Specifically, we employ graph contrastive learning as a regularization term, which promotes two views of augmented nodes to have consistent representations. To detect noisy labels on the graph, we present a sample selection technique based on the homophily assumption.

  We present a label-enhanced learning framework for Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) It first models each label as a virtual center for intra-class nodes and then jointly learns the representations of both nodes and labels. Our approach could not only smooth the representations of nodes belonging to the same class, but also explicitly encode the label semantics into the learning process of GNNs.

  This paper bridges the gap by proposing a pairwise framework for noisy node classification on graphs. PI-GNN relies on the PI as a primary learning proxy in addition to the pointwise learning from the noisy node class labels. Our proposed framework PI-GNN contributes two novel components: (1) a confidence-aware PI estimation model that adaptively estimates the PI labels, and (2) a decoupled training approach that leverages the estimated PI labels.
