Data and code for: Topic-aware Heterogeneous Graph Neural Network for Link Prediction

However, little effort has been devoted to factorizing them.In this paper, we propose a Topic-aware Heterogeneous Graph Neural Network, named THGNN, to hierarchically mine topic-aware semantics for learning multi-facet node representations for link prediction in HGs. Specifically, our model mainly applies an alternating two-step aggregation mechanism including intra-metapath decomposition and inter-metapath mergence, which can distinctively aggregate rich heterogeneous information according to the inferential topic-aware factors and preserve hierarchical semantics.

Furthermore, a topic prior guidance module is also designed to keep the quality of multi-facet topic-aware embeddings relying on the global knowledge from unstructured text content in HGs. It helps to simultaneously improve both performance and interpretability. Experimental results on three real-world HGs demonstrate that our proposed model can effectively outperform the state-of-the-art methods in the link prediction task, and show the potential interpretability of learnt multi-facet topic-aware representations.</p> <p> </p>
