Wasserstein Adversarially Regularized Graph Autoencoder
This work addresses the challenge of enhancing graph representation learning for tasks like link prediction and node clustering, offering a novel regularization approach that could benefit researchers and practitioners in network analysis, though it appears incremental by building on existing adversarial and autoencoder methods.
The paper tackles the problem of regularizing latent distributions in graph autoencoders by introducing Wasserstein Adversarially Regularized Graph Autoencoder (WARGA), which uses the Wasserstein metric to improve performance in link prediction and node clustering tasks, generally outperforming state-of-the-art models based on KL divergence and typical adversarial frameworks.
This paper introduces Wasserstein Adversarially Regularized Graph Autoencoder (WARGA), an implicit generative algorithm that directly regularizes the latent distribution of node embedding to a target distribution via the Wasserstein metric. The proposed method has been validated in tasks of link prediction and node clustering on real-world graphs, in which WARGA generally outperforms state-of-the-art models based on Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence and typical adversarial framework.
