Recently, graph neural networks for semi-supervised classification have been widely studied. However, existing methods only use the information of limited neighbors and do not deal with the inter-class connections in graphs. In this paper, we propose Adaptive aggregation with Class-Attentive Diffusion (AdaCAD), a new aggregation scheme that adaptively aggregates nodes probably of the same class among K-hop neighbors. To this end, we first propose a novel stochastic process, called Class-Attentive Diffusion (CAD), that strengthens attention to intra-class nodes and attenuates attention to inter-class nodes. In contrast to the existing diffusion methods with a transition matrix determined solely by the graph structure, CAD considers both the node features and the graph structure with the design of our class-attentive transition matrix that utilizes a classifier. Then, we further propose an adaptive update scheme that leverages different reflection ratios of the diffusion result for each node depending on the local class-context. As the main advantage, AdaCAD alleviates the problem of undesired mixing of inter-class features caused by discrepancies between node labels and the graph topology. Built on AdaCAD, we construct a simple model called Class-Attentive Diffusion Network (CAD-Net). Extensive experiments on seven benchmark datasets consistently demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed method and our CAD-Net significantly outperforms the state-of-the-art methods.

One of the most rising issues in recent machine learning research is One-Class Classification which considers data set composed of only one class and outliers. It is more reasonable than traditional Multi-Class Classification in dealing with some problematic data set or special cases. Generally, classification accuracy and interpretability for user are considered as trade-off in OCC methods. Classifier based on Hyper-Rectangle (H-RTGL) is a sort of classifier that can be a remedy for such trade-off and uses H-RTGL formulated by conjunction of geometric rules called interval. This interval can be basis of interpretability since it can be easily understood by user. However, existing H-RTGL based OCC classifiers have limitations that (i) most of them cannot reflect density of target class and (ii) that considering density has primitive interval generation method, and (iii) there exists no systematic procedure for hyperparameter of H-RTGL based OCC classifier, which influences classification performance of classifier. Based on these remarks, we suggest One-Class Hyper-Rectangle Descriptor based on density (1-HRD_d) with more elaborate interval generation method including parametric and nonparametric approaches. In addition, we designed Genetic Algorithm (GA) that consists of chromosome structure and genetic operators for systematic generation of 1-HRD_d by optimization of hyperparameter. Our work is validated through a numerical experiment using actual data set with comparison of existing OCC algorithms along with other H-RTGL based classifiers.

In this paper, we propose a novel structure for a cross-modal data association, which is inspired by the recent research on the associative learning structure of the brain. We formulate the cross-modal association in Bayesian inference framework realized by a deep neural network with multiple variational auto-encoders and variational associators. The variational associators transfer the latent spaces between auto-encoders that represent different modalities. The proposed structure successfully associates even heterogeneous modal data and easily incorporates the additional modality to the entire network via the proposed cross-modal associator. Furthermore, the proposed structure can be trained with only a small amount of paired data since auto-encoders can be trained by unsupervised manner. Through experiments, the effectiveness of the proposed structure is validated on various datasets including visual and auditory data.
