D2GSL: Self-Supervised Dual-Layer Structure-Driven Graph Structure Learning

Abstract

: Graph structure learning depends heavily on the integrity and reliability of graph data. However, real-world graphs often contain noise, missing information, and bias, thereby limiting the expressive capacity of existing models. Single-layer structure learning methods fail to simultaneously capture local interactions and the global structure. Furthermore, they rely excessively on high-quality labeled data, leading to label scarcity issues and high annotation costs. To address these challenges, we propose a self-supervised dual-layer structure-driven graph structure learning method, termed D2GSL. Specifically, D2GSL constructs a semantic similarity channel and a spectral feature channel to model node relationships from both local semantic and global spectral views. It introduces a hyperadjacency matrix that explicitly models inter-layer node correspondences and enables joint structural reconstruction across channels. The framework further applies structural reconstruction constraints and adopts a contrastive learning mechanism to enhance structural representations in a self-supervised setting. Comprehensive experimental results demonstrate that D2GSL consistently outperforms mainstream baseline models on public benchmark datasets and exhibits remarkable efficacy under label-scarcity conditions.
