TL;DR

A novel framework called Adaptive Granular Hypergraph Generation (MGHRL) is introduced, which generates hyperedges at multiple levels of granularity through the adaptive splitting of granular-ball, effectively capturing high-order relationships based on the graph's topological structure.

Abstract

Hypergraph representation learning aims to capture high-order information in graphs by constructing hyperedges that simultaneously connect multiple nodes. These hyperedges adapt to the graph's topological features, facilitating the extraction of high-order relationships at multiple granularities. Most prior work relies on predefined definitions to generate hyperedges, overlooking the diversity in graph topological structures and the multi-granularity characteristics of hyperedges. As a result, this limits their ability to effectively and adaptively discover high-order relationships and efficiently process complex structural information. To address this limitation, we propose a novel framework called \underline{M}ulti-\underline{G}ranularity \underline{H}ypergraph \underline{R}epresentation \underline{L}earning (MGHRL). MGHRL introduces an Adaptive Granular Hypergraph Generation strategy, which generates hyperedges at multiple levels of granularity through the adaptive splitting of granular-ball, effectively capturing high-order relationships based on the graph's topological structure. Additionally, we propose a Multi-Granularity Hypergraph Network with multiple sub-networks, capturing features from hyperedges at different granularities and integrating them via hierarchical reversible connections. Experimental results show that MGHRL significantly outperforms baseline models on benchmark datasets.

Multi-Granularity Graph Contrastive Learning Framework via Granular-Ball on Heterogeneous Graphs.

Graph Contrastive Learning (GCL) is a popular self-supervised learning (SSL) technique. However, mainstream GCL methods usually favor single fine-grained random augmentation schemes, which will destroy the structural integrity of the graph, and they largely ignore the topology of the graph structure, that is, multi-gra...
