• Abstract: Spatial networks are useful for modeling geographic phenomena where spatial interaction plays an important role. To analyze the spatial networks and their internal structures, graph-based methods such as community detection have been widely used. Community detection aims to extract strongly connected components from the network and reveal the hidden relationships between nodes, but they usually do not involve the attribute information. To consider edge-based interactions and node attributes together, this study proposed a family of GeoAI-enhanced unsupervised community detection methods called region2vec based on Graph Attention Networks (GAT) and Graph Convolutional Networks (GCN). The region2vec methods generate node neural embeddings based on attribute similarity, geographic adjacency and spatial interactions, and then extract network communities based on node embeddings using agglomerative clustering. The proposed GeoAI-based methods are compared with multiple baselines and perform the best when one wants to maximize node attribute similarity and spatial interaction intensity simultaneously within the spatial network communities. It is further applied in the shortage area delineation problem in public health and demonstrates its promise in regionalization problems.

  We propose an unsupervised GCN-based community detection method "region2vec" on spatial networks. Our method first generates node embeddings for regions that share common attributes and have intense spatial interactions. Experimental results show that while existing methods trade off either attribute similarities or spatial interactions for one another, "region2vec" maintains a great balance between both.

  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.
