Abstract

The graph neural network can use the network topology, the attributes and labels of nodes to mine the potential relationships on network. In paper, we propose a graph convolutional network based on higher-order Neighborhood Aggregation. First, an improved graph convolutional module is proposed, which can more flexibly aggregate higher-order neighborhood information in convolution kernel. It alleviates the over-smooth problem caused by high-order aggregation to a certain extent. Then, we propose two different neighborhood aggregation models. The first model trains multiple embeddings independently for the network and obtains the final embedding through connection, that is, focuses on processing the overall information of the neighborhood. The other is analogous to the three-dimensional convolutional neural network on image. It concatenates features in each layer which pays more attention to processing the hierarchical information of the neighborhood. Our algorithm is a general network model enhancement algorithm which is suitable for different network architectures. Experiments on 6 real network datasets show that our algorithm has good results in node classification, link prediction, etc.
