📝 摘要(中文)
图表示学习(GRL)已成为建模图结构数据的有效技术。在复杂异构时间图(HTG)的建模中,现有的GRL方法主要关注低阶拓扑信息,忽视了更符合现实网络的高阶群体交互关系。此外,现有的超图方法仅能建模静态同质图,限制了其在HTG中建模高阶交互的能力。为此,本文首先提出了异构时间超图的正式定义及不依赖额外信息的$P$-均匀异构超边构建算法。接着,提出了一种新颖的异构时间超图神经网络(HTHGN),能够全面捕捉HTG中的高阶交互。HTHGN包含一个层次注意力机制模块,能够在异构节点和超边之间进行时间消息传递,从而捕捉超边带来的丰富语义。实验结果表明,HTHGN在三个真实世界HTG数据集上表现出显著的性能提升。

📄 摘要(原文)
Graph representation learning (GRL) has emerged as an effective technique for modeling graph-structured data. When modeling heterogeneity and dynamics in real-world complex networks, GRL methods designed for complex heterogeneous temporal graphs (HTGs) have been proposed and have achieved successful applications in various fields. However, most existing GRL methods mainly focus on preserving the low-order topology information while ignoring higher-order group interaction relationships, which are more consistent with real-world networks. In addition, most existing hypergraph methods can only model static homogeneous graphs, limiting their ability to model high-order interactions in HTGs. Therefore, to simultaneously enable the GRL model to capture high-order interaction relationships in HTGs, we first propose a formal definition of heterogeneous temporal hypergraphs and $P$-uniform heterogeneous hyperedge construction algorithm that does not rely on additional information. Then, a novel Heterogeneous Temporal HyperGraph Neural network (HTHGN), is proposed to fully capture higher-order interactions in HTGs. HTHGN contains a hierarchical attention mechanism module that simultaneously performs temporal message-passing between heterogeneous nodes and hyperedges to capture rich semantics in a wider receptive field brought by hyperedges. Furthermore, HTHGN performs contrastive learning by maximizing the consistency between low-order correlated heterogeneous node pairs on HTG to avoid the low-order structural ambiguity issue. Detailed experimental results on three real-world HTG datasets verify the effectiveness of the proposed HTHGN for modeling high-order interactions in HTGs and demonstrate significant performance improvements.
