In the last few years, Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have accomplished greater performance in graph-related tasks like link prediction, node classification and graph generation. Although they achieve significant results, they still suffer from overfitting, lack of robustness and over-smoothing. To address these issues, we propose an innovative dropout scheme named INDRS. At its core, INDRS first performs two iterations of aggregation and then propagates the information through several branches using different configurations. The effectiveness of our proposed scheme has been proven by many experiments using two well-known datasets, including PubMed and Amazon Photo. Indeed, our suggested scheme allows avoiding the over-smoothing issue as well as enhancing GNNs robustness comparable to two recent competitive dropout techniques.

摘要

In the last few years, Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have accomplished greater performance in graph-related tasks like link prediction, node classification and graph generation. Although they achieve significant results, they still suffer from overfitting, lack of robustness and over-smoothing. To address these issues, we propose an innovative dropout scheme named INDRS. At its core, INDRS first performs two iterations of aggregation and then propagates the information through several branches using different configurations. The effectiveness of our proposed scheme has been proven by many experiments using two well-known datasets, including PubMed and Amazon Photo. Indeed, our suggested scheme allows avoiding the over-smoothing issue as well as enhancing GNNs robustness comparable to two recent competitive dropout techniques.
