• Abstract: Communities in social networks evolve over time as people enter and leave the network and their activity behaviors shift. The task of predicting structural changes in communities over time is known as community evolution prediction. Existing work in this area has focused on the development of frameworks for defining events while using traditional classification methods to perform the actual prediction. We present a novel graph neural network for predicting community evolution events from structural and temporal information. The model (GNAN) includes a group-node attention component which enables support for variable-sized inputs and learned representation of groups based on member and neighbor node features. A comparative evaluation with standard baseline methods is performed and we demonstrate that our model outperforms the baselines. Additionally, we show the effects of network trends on model performance.

• A Variational Edge Partition Model for Supervised Graph Representation Learning [51.30365677476971]
  This paper introduces a graph generative process to model how the observed edges are generated by aggregating the node interactions over a set of overlapping node communities. We partition each edge into the summation of multiple community-specific weighted edges and use them to define community-specific GNNs. A variational inference framework is proposed to jointly learn a GNN based inference network that partitions the edges into different communities, these community-specific GNNs, and a GNN based predictor that combines community-specific GNNs for the end classification task.

  GRADE is a probabilistic model that learns to generate evolving node and community representations by imposing a random walk prior to their trajectories.
