• Abstract: Node embedding refers to techniques that generate low-dimensional vector representations of nodes in a graph while preserving specific properties of the nodes. A key challenge in the field is developing scalable methods that can preserve structural properties suitable for the required types of structural patterns of a given downstream application task. While most existing methods focus on preserving node proximity, those that do preserve structural properties often lack the flexibility to preserve various types of structural patterns required by downstream application tasks. This paper introduces ffstruc2vec, a scalable deep-learning framework for learning node embedding vectors that preserve structural identities. Its flat, efficient architecture allows high flexibility in capturing diverse types of structural patterns, enabling broad adaptability to various downstream application tasks. The proposed framework significantly outperforms existing approaches across diverse unsupervised and supervised tasks in practical applications. Moreover, ffstruc2vec enables explainability by quantifying how individual structural patterns influence task outcomes, providing actionable interpretation. To our knowledge, no existing framework combines this level of flexibility, scalability, and structural interpretability, underscoring its unique capabilities.

  We propose a Graph Structure Self-Contrasting (GSSC) framework that learns graph structural information without message passing. The proposed framework is based purely on Multi-Layer Perceptrons (MLPs), where the structural information is only implicitly incorporated as prior knowledge. It first applies structural sparsification to remove potentially uninformative or noisy edges in the neighborhood, and then performs structural self-contrasting in the sparsified neighborhood to learn robust node representations.

  We propose a deep learning approach to perform multi-level object rearrangement planning for scenes with structural dependency hierarchies. It is trained on a self-generated simulation data set with intuitive structures and works for unseen scenes with an arbitrary number of objects. We compare our method with a range of classical and model-based baselines to show that our method leverages its scene understanding to achieve better performance, flexibility, and efficiency.

  An embedding is a mapping from a set of nodes of a network into a real vector space. For classical embeddings there exists a framework which helps data scientists to identify (in an unsupervised way) a few embeddings that are worth further investigation. In this paper we propose a framework for unsupervised ranking of structural graph embeddings.
