Existing methods focus on augmenting the graph data from a global perspective and largely fall into two genres: structural manipulation and adversarial training with feature noise injection. However, recent graph data augmentation methods ignore the importance of local information for the GNNs’ message passing mechanism. In this work, we introduce the local augmentation, which enhances the locality of node representations by their subgraph structures. Specifically, we model the data augmentation as a feature generation process. Given a node’s features, our local augmentation approach learns the conditional distribution of its neighbors’ features and generates more neighbors’ features to boost the performance of downstream tasks. Based on the local augmentation, we further design a novel framework: LA-GNN, which can apply to any GNN models in a plug-and-play manner. Extensive experiments and analyses show that local augmentation consistently yields performance improvement for various GNN architectures across a diverse set of benchmarks. ",

However, most of the GNN models, such as GCN (Kipf & Welling, 2017) and GAT (Velickovi ˇ c et al., 2018), learn ´ the node representations by aggregating information over only the 2-hop neighborhood. Such shallow architectures limit their ability to extract information from higher-layer neighborhoods (Wang & Derr, 2021). But deep GNNs are prone to over-smoothing (Li et al., 2018), which suggests the node representations tend to converge to a certain vector and thus become indistinguishable. One solution to address this problem is to preserve the locality of node representations when increasing the number of layers. For example, JKNet (Xu et al., 2018) densely connects (Huang et al., 2017) each hidden layer to the final layer. GCNII (Chen et al., 2020) employs an initial residual to construct a skip connection from the input layer. Besides, Zeng et al. (2021) pointed out that the key for GNN is to smooth the local neighborhood into informative representation, no matter how deep it is. And they decouple the depth and scope of GNNs to help capture local graph structure. Prior works have emphasized the importance of local information, but one property of the graph is that the number of nodes in the local neighborhood is far fewer than higher-order neighbors. And this property limits the expressive power of GNNs due to the limited neighbors in the local structure. A very intuitive idea is to use data augmentation to increase the number of nodes in the local substructure. ",

Topology-level augmentation perturbs the adjacency matrix, yielding different graph structures. On the other hand, existing feature-level augmentation mainly exploits perturbation of node attributes guided by adversarial training (Deng et al., 2019; Feng et al., 2019; Kong et al., 2020). These augmentation techniques have two drawbacks. 1) Some of they employ full-batch training for augmentation, which is computationally expensive, and introduce some additional side effects such as over-smoothing. 2) The type of feature-level augmentation is coarse-grained, which focuses on global augmentation and overlooks the local information of the neighborhood. Moreover, to our best knowledge, none of the existing approaches combines both the feature representations and the graph topology, especially the local subgraph structures, for graph-level data augmentation.

Specifically, our proposed framework learns the conditional distribution of the connected neighbors’ representations given the representation of the central node, bearing some similarities with the Skipgram (Mikolov et al., 2013) and Deepwalk Perozzi et al.

And there are several benefits in applying local augmentation for the GNN training. First, local augmentation is essentially a data augmentation technique that can improve the generalization of the GNN models and prevent over-fitting. Second, we can recover some missing contextual information of the local neighborhood in an attributed graph via the generative model (Jia & Benson, 2020). Third, our proposed framework is flexible and can be applied to various popular backbone networks such as GCN (Kipf & Welling, 2017), GAT (Velickovi ˇ c et al., 2018), GCNII (Chen et al., 2020), and ´ GRAND (Feng et al., 2020) to enhance their performance.

During active learning, the probability of each feature is proportional to its uncertainty evaluated by an acquisition function.

Previous methods such as EP-B (GarcíaDurán & Niepert, 2017) and GraphSAGE (Hamilton et al., 2017) rely on reconstruction loss function between the central node and its neighbors’ embeddings. EP-B aims to minimize the reconstruction error by optimizing the objective $\\begin{array} { r } { \\operatorname* { m i n } { \\sum _ { u \\in V \\backslash \\{ v \\} } } \\left[ \\gamma + d ( \\widetilde { \\mathbf { X } } _ { v } , \\mathbf { X } _ { v } ) - d ( \\widetilde { \\mathbf { X } } _ { v } , \\mathbf { X } _ { u } ) \\right] } \\end{array}$ where $\\mathbf { X } _ { v }$ represents the target node; $\\mathbf { X } _ { u }$ denotes the neighbor nodes; $\\widetilde { \\mathbf { X } } _ { v } = \\mathrm { A G G } ( \\mathbf { X } _ { l } | l \\in \\mathcal { N } ( v ) )$ indicates the reconstruction from neighbors; and $\\gamma$ refers to the bias. Besides, GraphSAGE exploits the negative sampling to differentiate the representations of remote node-pairs. GraphSAGE enforce nearby nodes to have similar representations and to enforce disparate nodes to be distinct by minimizing the objective $\\operatorname* { m i n } - E _ { u \\sim \\mathcal { N } ( v ) } \\overset { \\cdot } { \\log } \\left( \\left( \\sigma ( \\mathbf { X } _ { u } ^ { T } \\mathbf { X } _ { v } ) \\right) \\right) - \\lambda E _ { v _ { n } \\sim P _ { n } ( v ) } \\log \\left( \\left( \\sigma ( - \\mathbf { X } _ { v _ { n } } ^ { T } \\mathbf { X } _ { v } ) \\right) \\right)$ where $\\mathbf { X } _ { v }$ denotes target node; $\\mathbf { X } _ { u }$ represents the neighbor node; ${ \\bf X } _ { v _ { n } }$ is disparate node; and $P _ { n } ( v )$ is the negative sampling. These approaches build upon the assumption that adjacent nodes share similar attributes. In contrast, our model does not rely on such assumption and instead generates the neighboring node features from the conditional distribution of central node representations. Given the target node, $\\mathbf { X } _ { v }$ , our aim is to learn the conditional distribution of the neighbor nodes, $\\mathbf { X } _ { u }$ . A comparison between the reconstruction-based representation learning on graphs and our proposed framework is illustrated in Figure 2. And our local augmentation method is the third paradigm to exploit neighbors in a generative way. ",

"text": "Local Augmentation vs. General Augmentation General image augmentation algorithms include geometric transformations, feature space augmentation, adversarial training, and generative adversarial networks (Shorten & Khoshgoftaar, 2019). It is impossible to apply geometric transformations directly to graph data augmentation since graphs are sensitive to node permutation. General adversarial training, feature space augmentation, and generative adversarial networks don’t take the graph structure into account. Graphs consist of a set of identities with certain pairs of these identities connected by edges. We need to consider node features and the graph structure when designing the graph data augmentation framework. Our proposed method of local augmentation fully considers these two points. By extracting the neighbors’ feature vectors, we have enough data points to learn the distribution. There are two benefits to designing local augmentation. First, by taking the sub-graph structure and feature representation associated with this sub-graph structure as input for the generative model, we can learn the information of the sub-graph structure. Second, the number of data points to learn the distribution depends on the node degree. This assures that we have enough data points compared with the general feature augmentation and we can learn a better distribution. ",

And we show that our model still works in the scenario that nodes lose a certain percentage of attributes. In other words, we can exploit the well-learned distribution to complement the contextual information of the local neighborhood to enhance the locality of the node representations. ",

As shown in Table 5, we can see that as the mask ratio increases, the gap of the performance between the GCN and LA-GCN enlarges in most cases in Cora and Citeseer, which corroborates our insight discussed in Section 4. Since there exists large redundancy in the features of the Pubmed dataset, the performance of GCN and LA-GCN decreases little as the mask ratio increases and the gap of the performance does not enlarge. To conclude, our model can complement the contextual information of the local neighborhood to enhance the locality of the node representations. ",

"text": "Graph Neural Networks In general, convolution in the graph domain involves non-spectral (spatial) and spectral approaches. Non-spectral methods generalize convolutions operating on spatially close neighbors to the graph domain, such as Duvenaud et al. (2015); Atwood & Towsley (2016); Niepert et al. (2016); Monti et al. (2017). Spectral approaches define the convolution operations based on the spectral formulation, such as Bruna et al. (2014); Defferrard et al. (2016); Kipf & Welling (2017). Recently, several methods (Abu-El-Haija et al., 2019; Liao et al., 2019) based on GCN have been proposed to obtain the higher-order filters. Besides, GAT (Velickovi ˇ c et al., 2018), Graph ´ U-Nets (Gao & Ji, 2019) combine attention networks and pooling operation with GNN separately, which achieve state-of-the-art performance on node and link classification tasks.

"text": "Graph Generative Models Generative models (Goodfellow et al., 2014; Kingma & Welling, 2013) are powerful tools of learning data distribution through unsupervised learning, and they have achieved tremendous success in various applications. Recently, researchers have proposed several interesting generative models for graph data generation. Variational graph auto-encoder (VGAE) (Kipf & Welling, 2016) makes use of latent variables and learns interpretable latent representations for undirected graphs. Salha et al. (2019) replace the GCN encoder in VGAE with a simple linear model and emphasize the effectiveness of a simple node encoding scheme. Xu et al. (2019) propose a generative model framework to learn node representations, by sampling graph generation sequences constructed from observed graph data. ConDgen (Yang et al., 2019) exploits the GCN encoder to handle the inherent challenges of flexible context-structure conditioning and permutation-invariant generation. Besides, some methods have been proposed to apply the graph generative models in various applications such as graph matching (Simonovsky & Komodakis, 2018), molecule design (Liu et al., 2018), retrosynthesis prediction (Shi et al., 2020) and chemical design (Samanta et al., 2018). Compared with these approaches mainly focusing on structure generation, our model takes full use of the power of the generative model for feature representation generation, which can serve as an enhanced technique for the downstream backbone models.

We can augment more 1-hop neighbors from a well-trained generative model to enhance the performance of backbone GNN models. Experiments show that our model can improve performance across various GNN architectures and benchmark datasets by enriching local information. Besides, our model achieves new state-of-the-art results on various semi-supervised node classification tasks. One limitation of our proposed framework is that we do not exploit the 2-hop neighbors or use the random walk to find more related neighbors for the central node. And one future work is that we can extract more $^ { 2 / 3 }$ -hop neighbors if the central node’s degree is small and learn the conditional distribution for random sampling nodes if the graph is large.

WebKB1 is a webpage dataset collected from various universities. We use the one subdataset of it, Cornell. In this dataset, nodes represent web pages, and edges are hyperlinks between them; node features correspond to the bag-of-words representation of web pages and labels correspond to five categories, student, project, course, staff, and faculty.

The codes of $S ^ { 2 } G C$ (Zhu & Koniusz, 2021), LA-GCN, LA-GAT, LA-GCNII, LA-GRAND, and DropEdge-GCN are implemented referring to Pytorch implementation of $\\mathrm { S } ^ { 2 } \\mathrm { G } \\mathrm { C } ^ { 2 }$ , $\\mathrm { G C N } ^ { 3 }$ (Kipf & Welling, 2017), $\\mathrm { G A T ^ { 4 } }$ (Velickovi ˇ c et al., 2018), ´ $\\mathrm { G C N I I } ^ { 5 }$ (Chen et al., 2020) $\\mathrm { G R A N D } ^ { 6 }$ (Feng et al., 2020), and DropEdge- $\\mathbf { \\Delta } G \\mathbf { C N } ^ { 7 }$ (Rong et al., 2020). Besides, we implement APPNP (Klicpera et al., 2019) with DGL (Wang et al., 2019) version of APPNP8. The datasets Cora, Citeseer, Pubmed are downloaded from TensorFlow (Abadi et al., 2016) implementation of $\\mathrm { G C N ^ { 9 } }$ , and the datasets Chameleon, Squirrel, Actor, and Cornell are downloaded from the implementation of Geom- $\\mathrm { G C N ^ { 1 0 } }$ (Pei et al., 2020). All the experiments in this work are conducted on a single NVIDIA Tesla V100 with 32GB memory size. The operating system behind the Docker where the experiments are running is Red Hat 4.8.2-16. And the software that we use for experiments are Python 3.6.8, numpy 1.19.2, sklearn 0.0, scipy 1.5.4, networkx 2.5.1, torch 1.6.0, torchvision 0.7.0, CUDA 10.2.89, and CUDNN 8.0.2. ",
