Multi-channel high-order network representation learning research.

Abstract

The existing network representation learning algorithms mainly model the relationship between network nodes based on the structural features of the network, or use text features, hierarchical features and other external attributes to realize the network joint representation learning. Capturing global features of the network allows the obtained node vectors to retain more comprehensive feature information during training, thereby enhancing the quality of embeddings. In order to preserve the global structural features of the network in the training results, we employed a multi-channel learning approach to perform high-order feature modeling on the network. We proposed a novel algorithm for multi-channel high-order network representation learning, referred to as the Multi-Channel High-Order Network Representation (MHNR) algorithm. This algorithm initially constructs high-order network features from the original network structure, thereby transforming the single-channel network representation learning process into a multi-channel high-order network representation learning process. Then, for each single-channel network representation learning process, the novel graph assimilation mechanism is introduced in the algorithm, so as to realize the high-order network structure modeling mechanism in the single-channel network representation learning. Finally, the algorithm integrates the multi-channel and single-channel mechanism of high-order network structure joint modeling, realizing the efficient use of network structure features and sufficient modeling. Experimental results show that the node classification performance of the proposed MHNR algorithm reaches a good order on Citeseer, Cora, and DBLP data, and its node classification performance is better than that of the comparison algorithm used in this paper. In addition, when the vector length is optimized, the average classification accuracy of nodes of the proposed algorithm is up to 12.24% higher than that of the DeepWalk algorithm. Therefore, the node classification performance of the proposed algorithm can reach the current optimal order only based on the structural features of the network under the condition of no external feature supplementary modeling.
