• Title: Beyond Homophily: Reconstructing Structure for Graph-agnostic Clustering
• Authors: Erlin Pan, Zhao Kang
• Abstract summary: It is impossible to first identify a graph as homophilic or heterophilic before a suitable GNN model can be found. We propose a novel graph clustering method, which contains three key components: graph reconstruction, a mixed filter, and dual graph clustering network. Our method dominates others on heterophilic graphs.

• Abstract: Graph neural networks (GNNs) based methods have achieved impressive performance on node clustering task. However, they are designed on the homophilic assumption of graph and clustering on heterophilic graph is overlooked. Due to the lack of labels, it is impossible to first identify a graph as homophilic or heterophilic before a suitable GNN model can be found. Hence, clustering on real-world graph with various levels of homophily poses a new challenge to the graph research community. To fill this gap, we propose a novel graph clustering method, which contains three key components: graph reconstruction, a mixed filter, and dual graph clustering network. To be graph-agnostic, we empirically construct two graphs which are high homophily and heterophily from each data. The mixed filter based on the new graphs extracts both low-frequency and high-frequency information. To reduce the adverse coupling between node attribute and topological structure, we separately map them into two subspaces in dual graph clustering network. Extensive experiments on 11 benchmark graphs demonstrate our promising performance. In particular, our method dominates others on heterophilic graphs.

  We propose a novel robust graph structure learning method to achieve a high-quality graph from heterophilic data for downstream tasks. We first apply a high-pass filter to make each node more distinctive from its neighbors by encoding structure information into the node features. Then, we learn a robust graph with an adaptive norm characterizing different levels of noise.

• Line Graph Neural Networks for Link Prediction [71.00689542259052]
  We consider the graph link prediction task, which is a classic graph analytical problem with many real-world applications. In this formalism, a link prediction problem is converted to a graph classification task. We propose to seek a radically different and novel path by making use of the line graphs in graph theory. In particular, each node in a line graph corresponds to a unique edge in the original graph. Therefore, link prediction problems in the original graph can be equivalently solved as a node classification problem in its corresponding line graph, instead of a graph classification task.

Comprehensive experiments demonstrate that MGMN consistently outperforms state-of-the-art baseline models on both the graph-graph classification and graph-graph regression tasks.
