DyGCN: Dynamic Graph Embedding with Graph Convolutional Network

원문 초록

Graph embedding, aiming to learn low-dimensional representations (aka. embeddings) of nodes, has received significant attention recently. Recent years have witnessed a surge of efforts made on static graphs, among which Graph Convolutional Network (GCN) has emerged as an effective class of models. However, these methods mainly focus on the static graph embedding. In this work, we propose an efficient dynamic graph embedding approach, Dynamic Graph Convolutional Network (DyGCN), which is an extension of GCN-based methods. We naturally generalizes the embedding propagation scheme of GCN to dynamic setting in an efficient manner, which is to propagate the change along the graph to update node embeddings. The most affected nodes are first updated, and then their changes are propagated to the further nodes and leads to their update. Extensive experiments conducted on various dynamic graphs demonstrate that our model can update the node embeddings in a time-saving and performance-preserving way.
