"Contrastive Learning Augmented Graph Auto-Encoder" by Shuaishuai Zu, Chuyu Wang et al.
Graph embedding aims to embed the information of graph data into low-dimensional representation space. Prior methods generally suffer from an imbalance of preserving structural information and node features due to their pre-defined inductive biases, leading to unsatisfactory generalization performance. In order to preserve the maximal information, graph contrastive learning (GCL) has become a prominent technique for learning discriminative embeddings. However, in contrast with graph-level embeddings, existing GCL methods generally learn less discriminative node embeddings in a self-supervised ...
