Research on Node Classification Based on Joint Weighted Node Vectors

Node of network has lots of information, such as topology, text and label information. Therefore, node classification is an open issue. Recently, one vector of node is directly connected at the end of another vector. However, this method actually obtains the performance by extending dimensions and considering that the text and structural information are one-to-one, which is obviously unreasonable. Regarding this issue, a method by weighting vectors is proposed in this paper. Three methods, negative logarithm, modulus and sigmoid function are used to weight-trained vectors, then recombine the weighted vectors and put them into the SVM classifier for evaluation output. By comparing three different weighting methods, the results showed that using negative logarithm weighting achieved better results than the other two using modulus and sigmoid function weighting, and was superior to directly concatenating vectors in the same dimension.

Variational Gridded Graph Convolution Network for Node Classification

The existing graph convolution methods usually suffer high computational burdens,large memory requirements,and intractable batch-processing.In this paper,we propose a high-efficient variational gridded graph convolution network(VG-GCN)to encode non-regular graph data,which overcomes all these aforementioned problems.To capture graph topology structures efficiently,in the proposed framework,we propose a hierarchically-coarsened random walk(hcr-walk)by taking advantage of the classic random walk and node/edge encapsulation.The hcr-walk greatly mitigates the problem of exponentially explosive sampling times which occur in the classic version,while preserving graph structures well.To efficiently encode local hcr-walk around one reference node,we project hcrwalk into an ordered space to form image-like grid data,which favors those conventional convolution networks.Instead of the direct 2-D convolution filtering,a variational convolution block(VCB)is designed to model the distribution of the randomsampling hcr-walk inspired by the well-formulated variational inference.We experimentally validate the efficiency and effectiveness of our proposed VG-GCN,which has high computation speed,and the comparable or even better performance when compared with baseline GCNs.

On-demand multicast routing protocol based on node classification in MANET

An improved on-demand multicast routing protocol(ODMRP), node classification on-demand multicast routing protocol(NC-ODMRP), which is based on node classification in mobile ad hoc networks was proposed. NC-ODMRP classifies nodes into such three categories as ordinary node, forwarding group(FG) node, neighbor node of FG node according to their history forwarding information. The categories are distinguished with different weights by a weight table in the nodes. NC-ODMRP chooses the node with the highest weight as an FG node during the setup of forwarding group, which reduces a lot of redundant FG nodes by sharing more FG nodes between different sender and receiver pairs. The simulation results show that NC-ODMRP can reduce more than 20% FG number of ODMRP, thus enhances nearly 14% data forwarding efficiency and 12% energy consumption efficiency when the number of multicast senders is more than 5.

Unbalanced Graph Multi-Scale Fusion Node Classification Method

Graphs are used as a data structure to describe complex relationships between things.The node classification method based on graph network plays an important role in practical applications.None of the existing graph node classification methods consider the uneven distribution of node labels.In this paper,a graph convolution algorithm on a directed graph is designed for the distribution of unbalanced graph nodes to realize node classification based on multi-scale fusion graph convolution network.This method designs different propagation depths for each class according to the unbalance ratio on the data set,and different aggregation functions are designed at each layer of the graph convolutional network based on the class propagation depth and the graph adjacency matrix.The scope of information dissemination of positive samples is expanded relatively,thereby improving the accuracy of classification of unbalanced graph nodes.Finally,the effectiveness of the algorithm is verified through experiments on the public text classification datasets.

Few-shot node classification via local adaptive discriminant structure learning

Node classification has a wide range of application scenarios such as citation analysis and social network analysis.In many real-world attributed networks,a large portion of classes only contain limited labeled nodes.Most of the existing node classification methods cannot be used for few-shot node classification.To train the model effectively and improve the robustness and reliability of the model with scarce labeled samples,in this paper,we propose a local adaptive discriminant structure learning(LADSL)method for few-shot node classification.LADSL aims to properly represent the nodes in the attributed graphs and learn a metric space with a strong discriminating power by reducing the intra-class variations and enlargingginter-classdifferences.Extensiveexperiments conducted on various attributed networks datasets demonstrate that LADSL is superior to the other methods on few-shot node classification task.

Adaptive multi-channel Bayesian graph attention network for IoT transaction security

With the rapid advancement of 5G technology,the Internet of Things(IoT)has entered a new phase of appli-cations and is rapidly becoming a significant force in promoting economic development.Due to the vast amounts of data created by numerous 5G IoT devices,the Ethereum platform has become a tool for the storage and sharing of IoT device data,thanks to its open and tamper-resistant characteristics.So,Ethereum account security is necessary for the Internet of Things to grow quickly and improve people's lives.By modeling Ethereum trans-action records as a transaction network,the account types are well identified by the Ethereum account classifi-cation system established based on Graph Neural Networks(GNNs).This work first investigates the Ethereum transaction network.Surprisingly,experimental metrics reveal that the Ethereum transaction network is neither optimal nor even satisfactory in terms of accurately representing transactions per account.This flaw may significantly impede the classification capability of GNNs,which is mostly governed by their attributes.This work proposes an Adaptive Multi-channel Bayesian Graph Attention Network(AMBGAT)for Ethereum account clas-sification to address this difficulty.AMBGAT uses attention to enhance node features,estimate graph topology that conforms to the ground truth,and efficiently extract node features pertinent to downstream tasks.An extensive experiment with actual Ethereum transaction data demonstrates that AMBGAT obtains competitive performance in the classification of Ethereum accounts while accurately estimating the graph topology.

Multi-task learning for PBFT optimisation in permissioned blockchains

Finance,supply chains,healthcare,and energy have an increasing demand for secure transactions and data exchange.Permissioned blockchains fulfilled this need thanks to the consensus protocol that ensures that participants agree on a common value.One of the most widely used protocols in private blockchains is the Practical Byzantine Fault Tolerance(PBFT),which tolerates up to one-third of Byzantine nodes,performs within partially synchronous systems,and has superior throughput compared to other protocols.It has,however,an important bandwidth consumption:2N(N-1)messages are exchanged in a system composed of𝑁nodes to validate only one block.It is possible to reduce the number of consensus participants by restricting the validation process to nodes that have demonstrated high levels of security,rapidity,and availability.In this paper,we propose the first database that traces the behavior of nodes within a system that performs PBFT consensus.It reflects their level of security,rapidity,and availability throughout the consensus.We first investigate different Single-Task Learning(STL)techniques to classify the nodes within our dataset.Then,using Multi-Task Learning(MTL)techniques,the results are much more interesting,with classification accuracies over 98%.Integrating node classification as a preliminary step to the PBFT protocol optimizes the consensus.In the best cases,it is able to reduce the latency by up to 94%and the communication traffic by up to 99%.

NGAT:attention in breadth and depth exploration for semi-supervised graph representation learning

Recently,graph neural networks(GNNs)have achieved remarkable performance in representation learning on graph-structured data.However,as the number of network layers increases,GNNs based on the neighborhood aggregation strategy deteriorate due to the problem of oversmoothing,which is the major bottleneck for applying GNNs to real-world graphs.Many efforts have been made to improve the process of feature information aggregation from directly connected nodes,i.e.,breadth exploration.However,these models perform the best only in the case of three or fewer layers,and the performance drops rapidly for deep layers.To alleviate oversmoothing,we propose a nested graph attention network(NGAT),which can work in a semi-supervised manner.In addition to breadth exploration,a k-layer NGAT uses a layer-wise aggregation strategy guided by the attention mechanism to selectively leverage feature information from the k;-order neighborhood,i.e.,depth exploration.Even with a 10-layer or deeper architecture,NGAT can balance the need for preserving the locality(including root node features and the local structure)and aggregating the information from a large neighborhood.In a number of experiments on standard node classification tasks,NGAT outperforms other novel models and achieves state-of-the-art performance.
