Graph-based semi-supervised node classification has been shown to become a state-of-the-art approach in many applications with high research value and significance. Most existing methods are only based on the original intrinsic or artificially established graph structure which may not accurately reflect the "true" correlation among data and are not optimal for semi-supervised node classification in the downstream graph neural networks. Besides, while existing graph-based methods mostly utilize the explicit graph structure, some implicit information, for example, the density information, can also provide latent information that can be further exploited. To address these limitations, this paper proposes the Dual Hypergraph Neural Network (DualHGNN), a new dual connection model integrating both hypergraph structure learning and hypergraph representation learning simultaneously in a unified architecture. The DualHGNN first leverages a multi-view hypergraph learning network to explore the optimal hypergraph structure from multiple views, constrained by a consistency loss proposed to improve its generalization. Then, DualHGNN employs a density-aware hypergraph attention network to explore the high-order semantic correlation among data points based on the density-aware attention mechanism. Extensive experiments are conducted in various benchmark datasets, and the results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
Graph-based semi-supervised learning, which can exploit the connectivity relationship between labeled and unlabeled data, has been shown to outperform the state-of-the-art in many artificial intelligence applications. One of the most challenging problems for graph-based semi-supervised node classification is how to use the implicit information among various data to improve the performance of classifying. Traditional studies on graph-based semi-supervised learning have focused on the pairwise connections among data. However, the data correlation in real applications could be beyond pairwise and more complicated. The density information has been demonstrated to be an important clue, but it is rarely explored in depth among existing graph-based semi-supervised node classification methods. To develop a flexible and effective model for graph-based semi-supervised node classification, we propose a novel Density-Aware Hyper-Graph Neural Networks (DA-HGNN). In our proposed approach, hyper-graph is provided to explore the high-order semantic correlation among data, and a density-aware hyper-graph attention network is presented to explore the high-order connection relationship. Extensive experiments are conducted in various benchmark datasets, and the results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
