HINFShot: A Challenge Dataset for Few-Shot Node Classification in Heterogeneous Information Network

Published: 01 September 2021 Publication History

Abstract

Few-shot learning aims to generalize to novel classes. It has achieved great success in image and text classification tasks. Inspired by such success, few-shot node classification in homogeneous graph has attracted much attention but few works have begun to study this problem in Heterogeneous Information Network (HIN) so far. We consider few-shot learning in HIN and study a pioneering problem HIN Few-Shot Node Classification (HIN-FSNC) that aims to generalize the node types with sufficient labeled samples to unseen node types with only few-labeled samples. However, existing HIN datasets contain just one labeled node type, which means they cannot meet the setting of unseen node types. To facilitate the investigation of HIN-FSNC, we propose a large-scale academic HIN dataset called HINFShot. It contains 1,235,031 nodes with four node types (author, paper, venue, institution) and all the nodes regardless of node type are divided into 80 classes. Finally, we conduct extensive experiments on HINFShot and the result indicates a significant challenge of identifying novel classes of unseen node types in HIN-FSNC.
