Graph Transfer Learning via Adversarial Domain Adaptation with Graph Convolution
—This paper studies the problem of cross-network node classiﬁcation to overcome the insufﬁciency of labeled data in a single network. It aims to leverage the label information in a partially labeled source network to assist node classiﬁcation in a completely unlabeled or partially labeled target network. Existing methods for single network learning cannot solve this problem due to the domain shift across networks. Some multi-network learning methods heavily rely on the existence of cross-network connections, thus are inapplicable for this problem. To tackle this problem, we propose a novel graph transfer learning framework AdaGCN by leveraging the techniques of adversarial domain adaptation and graph convolution. It consists of two components: a semi-supervised learning component and an adversarial domain adaptation component. The former aims to learn class discriminative node representations with given label information of the source and target networks, while the latter contributes to mitigating the distribution divergence between the source and target domains to facilitate knowledge transfer. Extensive empirical evaluations on real-world datasets show that AdaGCN can successfully transfer class information with a low label rate on the source network and a substantial divergence between the source and target domains. The source code for reproducing the experimental results is available at https://github.com/daiquanyu/AdaGCN.
