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.

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...
