Heterogeneous Graph Neural Networks using Self-supervised Reciprocally Contrastive Learning
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Heterogeneous graph neural network (HGNN) is a popular technique for modeling and analyzing heterogeneous graphs. Most existing HGNN-based approaches are supervised or semi-supervised learning methods requiring graphs to be annotated, which is costly and time-consuming. Self-supervised contrastive learning has been proposed to address the problem of requiring annotated data by mining intrinsic properties in the given data. However, the existing contrastive learning methods are not suitable for heterogeneous graphs because they construct contrastive views only based on data perturbation or pre-defined structural properties (e.g., meta-path) in graph data while ignoring noises in node attributes and graph topologies. We develop a robust heterogeneous graph contrastive learning approach, namely HGCL, which introduces two views on respective guidances of node attributes and graph topologies and integrates and enhances them by a reciprocally contrastive mechanism to better model heterogeneous graphs. In this new approach, we adopt distinct but suitable attribute and topology fusion mechanisms in the two views, which are conducive to mining relevant information in attributes and topologies separately. We further use both attribute similarity and topological correlation to construct high-quality contrastive samples. Extensive experiments on four large real-world heterogeneous graphs demonstrate the superiority and robustness of HGCL over several state-of-the-art methods.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
