• Abstract summary: This paper studies the problem of how to automatically, adaptively, and dynamically learn instance-level self-supervised learning strategies for each node. We propose a novel multi-teacher knowledge distillation framework for Automated Graph Self-Supervised Learning (AGSSL) Experiments on eight datasets show that AGSSL can benefit from multiple pretext tasks, outperforming the corresponding individual tasks.

• Abstract: Self-supervised learning on graphs has recently achieved remarkable success in graph representation learning. With hundreds of self-supervised pretext tasks proposed over the past few years, the research community has greatly developed, and the key is no longer to design more powerful but complex pretext tasks, but to make more effective use of those already on hand. This paper studies the problem of how to automatically, adaptively, and dynamically learn instance-level self-supervised learning strategies for each node from a given pool of pretext tasks. In this paper, we propose a novel multi-teacher knowledge distillation framework for Automated Graph Self-Supervised Learning (AGSSL), which consists of two main branches: (i) Knowledge Extraction: training multiple teachers with different pretext tasks, so as to extract different levels of knowledge with different inductive biases; (ii) Knowledge Integration: integrating different levels of knowledge and distilling them into the student model. Without simply treating different teachers as equally important, we provide a provable theoretical guideline for how to integrate the knowledge of different teachers, i.e., the integrated teacher probability should be close to the true Bayesian class-probability. To approach the theoretical optimum in practice, two adaptive knowledge integration strategies are proposed to construct a relatively "good" integrated teacher. Extensive experiments on eight datasets show that AGSSL can benefit from multiple pretext tasks, outperforming the corresponding individual tasks; by combining a few simple but classical pretext tasks, the resulting performance is comparable to other leading counterparts.

  Reinforcement learning (rl) is a popular paradigm for sequential decision making problems. The sample inefficiency of deep reinforcement learning methods is a significant obstacle when applying rl to real-world problems. We propose a teacher-student curriculum learning setting where we simultaneously train a teacher that selects tasks for the student while the student learns how to solve the selected task.

  Knowledge of a well-trained deep neural network (a.k.a. the "teacher") is valuable for learning similar tasks. Knowledge distillation extracts knowledge from the teacher and integrates it with the target model. Instead of enforcing the teacher to work on the same task as the student, we borrow the knowledge from a teacher trained from a general label space.

By learning from large-scale unlabeled samples, self-supervised learning has now become a new trend in deep learning. We propose a novel textbfSelf-textbfSupervised textbfGraph Neural Network (SSG) to enable more effective inter-task information exchange and knowledge sharing.

  A modular design encourages neural models to disentangle and recombine different facets of knowledge to generalise more systematically to new tasks. In this work, we assume each task is associated with a subset of latent discrete skills from a (potentially small) inventory. We find that the modular design of a network significantly increases sample efficiency in reinforcement learning and few-shot generalisation in supervised learning.

  We propose a novel method, called Knowledge Augmented Data Teaching (KADT), to optimize a data teaching strategy for a student model. The KADT method incorporates a knowledge tracing model to dynamically capture the knowledge progress of a student model in terms of latent learning concepts. We have evaluated the performance of the KADT method on four different machine learning tasks including knowledge tracing, sentiment analysis, movie recommendation, and image classification.

In this work, we introduce dual policy distillation(DPD), a student-student framework in which two learners operate on the same environment to explore different perspectives of the environment. The key challenge in developing this dual learning framework is to identify the beneficial knowledge from the peer learner for contemporary learning-based reinforcement learning algorithms.
