• Abstract: Representing the nodes of continuous-time temporal graphs in a low-dimensional latent space has wide-ranging applications, from prediction to visualization. Yet, analyzing continuous-time relational data with timestamped interactions introduces unique challenges due to its sparsity. Merely embedding nodes as trajectories in the latent space overlooks this sparsity, emphasizing the need to quantify uncertainty around the latent positions. In this paper, we propose TGNE (\textbf{T}emporal \textbf{G}aussian \textbf{N}etwork \textbf{E}mbedding), an innovative method that bridges two distinct strands of literature: the statistical analysis of networks via Latent Space Models (LSM)\cite{Hoff2002} and temporal graph machine learning. TGNE embeds nodes as piece-wise linear trajectories of Gaussian distributions in the latent space, capturing both structural information and uncertainty around the trajectories. We evaluate TGNE's effectiveness in reconstructing the original graph and modelling uncertainty. The results demonstrate that TGNE generates competitive time-varying embedding locations compared to common baselines for reconstructing unobserved edge interactions based on observed edges. Furthermore, the uncertainty estimates align with the time-varying degree distribution in the network, providing valuable insights into the temporal dynamics of the graph. To facilitate reproducibility, we provide an open-source implementation of TGNE at \url{https://github.com/aida-ugent/tgne}.

  Adaptive Graph Sparsification (AGS) is a graph sparsification algorithm which successfully enables the localisation of ASTGNNs to an extreme extent. We observe that spatial graphs in ASTGNNs can be sparsified by over 99.5% without any decline in test accuracy. Localisation of ASTGNNs holds the potential to reduce the heavy overhead required on large-scale spatial-temporal data.

  We study the task of extrapolation-temporal processes that generates data at target locations from surrounding contexts in a graph. Existing methods either use learning-grained models like Neural Networks or statistical approaches like Gaussian for this task. We propose Spatio Graph Neural Processes (STGNP), a neural latent variable model which commands these capabilities simultaneously.

Secondly, we integrate PW-attention based on graph attention network which is designed for global dependency, and GCN as spatial block.
