Abstract

En 中文

Heterogeneous graphs consist of multiple types of nodes and edges, and contain comprehensive information and rich semantics, which can properly model real-world complex systems. However, the attribute values of nodes are often incomplete with many missing attributes, as the cost of collecting node attributes is prohibitively expensive or even impossible (e.g., sensitive personal information). While a handful of graph neural network (GNN) models are developed for attribute completion in heterogeneous networks, most of them either ignore the use of similarity between nodes in feature space, or overlook the different importance of different-order neighbor nodes for attribute completion, resulting in poor performance. In this paper, we propose a general Attribute Completion framework for HEterogeneous Networks (AC-HEN), which is composed of feature aggregation, structure aggregation, and multi-view embedding fusion modules. Specifically, AC-HEN leverages feature aggregation and structure aggregation to obtain multi-view embeddings considering neighbor aggregation in both feature space and network structural space, which distinguishes different contributions of different neighbor nodes by conducting weighted aggregation. Then AC-HEN uses the multi-view embeddings to complete the missing attributes via an embedding fusion module in a weak supervised learning paradigm. Extensive experiments on three real-world heterogeneous network datasets demonstrate the superiority of AC-HEN against state-of-the-art baselines in both attribute completion and node classification.
