Graph Contrastive Learning (GCL) has significantly advanced self-supervised representation learning on graphs, yet its practical efficacy remains hindered by random augmentations that induce semantic distortion and rigid one-to-one sampling strategy that amplifies inter-class entanglement and intra-…
Molecular representation learning has achieved remarkable progress in molecular property prediction, yet out-of-distribution (OOD) generalization remains challenging. In practice, training data typically cover only a limited portion of the chemical space, causing models to rely on environment-depend…
Explainability for graph neural networks (GNNs) aims to unveil the complex decision logic of learned models by identifying the most influential structures in the input graph, thereby improving transparency and trustworthiness. Existing post-hoc explainers typically extract a sparse key subgraph at a…
Semantic scene completion simultaneously reconstructs the shapes of missing regions and predicts semantic labels for the entire 3D scene. Although point cloud-based methods are more efficient than voxel-based methods, existing point cloud-based approaches largely fail to fully leverage semantic info
The primary goal of 3D point cloud completion is to reconstruct complete and high-resolution point clouds from incomplete and low-resolution inputs. While some recent approaches have achieved satisfactory completion performance by incorporating additional images, there remains room for improvement i
Graph Neural Ordinary Differential Equations (GODE) integrate the Variational Autoencoder (VAE) framework with differential equations, effectively modeling latent space uncertainty and continuous dynamics, excelling in graph data evolution and incompleteness. However, existing GODE face challenges i…
Deep learning has achieved remarkable success in supervised image classification tasks, which relies on a large number of labeled samples for each class. Recently, zero-shot learning has garnered significant attention, which aims to recognize unseen classes using only training samples from seen clas…
Cold-start sequential recommendation, where user interaction histories are sparse or minimal, remains a significant challenge in recommendation systems. Current meta-learning-based approaches rely heavily on the interaction histories of regular users to construct meta-tasks, aiming to acquire prior…
Dynamic graph representation learning using Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) exploits the temporal spiking behavior of neurons, offering advantages in capturing the temporal evolution and sparsity of dynamic graphs. However, existing SNN-based methods often fail to effectively capture the impact of la…
Graph contrastive learning (GCL) has become a hot topic in the field of graph representaion learning. In contrast to traditional supervised learning relying on a large number of labels, GCL exploits augmentation techniques to generate multiple views and positive/negative pairs, both of which greatly…
Graph Neural Networks are powerful tools for modeling graph-structured data but their interpretability remains a significant challenge. Existing model-agnostic GNN explainers aim to identify critical subgraphs or node features relevant to task predictions but often rely on GNN predictions for superv…
Classification is a cornerstone of machine learning research. Most of the existing classifiers assume that the concepts corresponding to classes can be precisely defined. This notion diverges from the widely accepted understanding in cognitive science, which posits that real-world concepts are often…
Hypergraphs offer a natural paradigm for modeling complex systems with multi-way interactions. Hypergraph neural networks (HGNNs) have demonstrated remarkable success in learning from such higher-order relational data. While such higher-order modeling enhances relational reasoning, the effectiveness…
Graph contrastive learning has attracted great interest as a dominant and promising self-supervised representation learning approach in recent years. While existing works follow the basic principle of pulling positive pairs closer and pushing negative pairs far away, they still suffer from several c…
Multi-modal point cloud completion, which utilizes a complete image and a partial point cloud as input, is a crucial task in 3D computer vision. Previous methods commonly employ a cross-attention mechanism to fuse point clouds and images. However, these approaches often fail to fully leverage image
Open-world semi-supervised learning (OWSSL) aims to recognize both known and unknown classes, but the labeled samples only cover the known classes. Existing OWSSL methods primarily represent classes as symbolic variables, which ignore the rich internal semantic information associated with the classe
The success of current graph contrastive learning methods largely relies on the choice of data augmentation and contrastive objectives. However, most existing methods tend to optimize these two components independently, neglecting their potential interplay, which leads to suboptimal quality of the l
The Transformer architecture has recently gained considerable attention in the field of graph representation learning, as it naturally overcomes several limitations of Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) with customized attention mechanisms or positional and structural encodings. Despite making some progre…
The generalization performance of machine learning methods depends heavily on the quality of data representation. However, existing researches rarely consider representation learning from the perspective of generalization error. In this paper, we prove that generalization error of representation lea…
