Abstract:
With the rise of contrastive learning, unsupervised graph representation learning has shown strong competitiveness. However, existing graph contrastive models typically either focus on the local view of graphs or take simple considerations of both global and local views. This may cause these models to overemphasize the importance of individual nodes and their ego-networks, or to result in poor learning of global knowledge and affect the learning of local views. Additionally, most graph representation learning models pay attention to topological proximity, assuming that nodes that are closer in graph topology are more similar. However, in real world, close nodes may be dissimilar, which makes the learned embeddings incorporate inappropriate messages and thus lack discrimination. To address these issues, we propose a novel unsupervised graph representation learning model by contrasting cluster assignments, called GRCCA. To comprehensively explore the global and local views, it combines multi-view contrastive learning and clustering algorithms with an opposite augmentation strategy. It leverages clustering algorithms to capture fine-grained global information and explore potential relevance between nodes in different augmented perspectives, while preserving high-quality global and local information through contrast between nodes and prototypes. The opposite augmentation strategy further enhances the contrast of both views, allowing the model to excavate more invariant features. Experimental results show that GRCCA has strong competitiveness compared to state-of-the-art models in different graph analysis tasks. IEEE
