Multi-view tensor graph neural networks through reinforced aggregation

Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have yielded fruitful results in learning multi-view graph data. However, it is challenging for existing GNNs to capture the potential correlation information (PCI) among the graph structure features of multiple views. It is also challenging to adaptively identify valuable neighbors for node feature fusion in different views. To this end, we propose a novel Reinforced Tensor Graph Neural Network (RTGNN) framework to more effectively perform multi-view graph representation learning through reinforcing inter- and intra-graph aggregation. Specifically, RTGNN first uses tensor decomposition to extract the graph structure features (GSFs) of each view in the common feature space. These GSFs contain the PCI of multiple views and alleviate fusion conflicts that may be caused by differences between view feature spaces in cross-view feature fusion. Since fusing the features of all neighbor nodes may harm the features of the center node, we filter the irrelevant neighbors to improve the performance of intra-graph aggregation in each view. Concretely, a reinforcement learning (RL)-guided scheme is developed to automatically calculate the optimal filtering threshold for each view, avoiding tedious manual updates and infeasible back propagation updates. Experimental results and analysis on five datasets show that RTGNN surpasses the best multi-view graph representation baselines and achieves the maximum 14.26% performance improvement in terms of F1.
