• Abstract summary: Graph Contrastive Learning (GCL) has drawn much research interest for learning generalizable, transferable, and robust node representations in a self-supervised fashion. In this work, we go beyond the existing unsupervised GCL counterparts and address their limitations by proposing a simple yet effective framework S$3$-CL. Our experiments demonstrate that the node representations learned by S$3$-CL achieve superior performance on different downstream tasks compared to the state-of-the-art GCL methods.

• Abstract: Graph Contrastive Learning (GCL) recently has drawn much research interest for learning generalizable, transferable, and robust node representations in a self-supervised fashion. In general, the contrastive learning process in GCL is performed on top of the representations learned by a graph neural network (GNN) backbone, which transforms and propagates the node contextual information based on its local neighborhoods. However, existing GCL efforts have severe limitations in terms of both encoding architecture, augmentation, and contrastive objective, making them commonly inefficient and ineffective to use in different datasets. In this work, we go beyond the existing unsupervised GCL counterparts and address their limitations by proposing a simple yet effective framework S$^3$-CL. Specifically, by virtue of the proposed structural and semantic contrastive learning, even a simple neural network is able to learn expressive node representations that preserve valuable structural and semantic patterns. Our experiments demonstrate that the node representations learned by S$^3$-CL achieve superior performance on different downstream tasks compared to the state-of-the-art GCL methods.

  Graph neural networks (GNNs) have recently emerged as an effective approach to model neighborhood signals in collaborative filtering. We propose L2CL, a principled Layer-to-Layer Contrastive Learning framework that contrasts representations from different layers. We find that L2CL, using only one-hop contrastive learning paradigm, is able to capture intrinsic semantic structures and improve the quality of node representation.

  Graph contrastive learning (GCL) has emerged as a promising self-supervised approach for learning node representations. We show that representations obtained by GCL methods are already fairer to degree bias than those learned by GCN. We devise a novel graph augmentation method, called GRAph contrastive learning for DEgree bias (GRADE), which applies different strategies to low- and high-degree nodes.
