Edge Dithering for Robust Adaptive Graph Convolutional Networks

Ioannidis, Vassilis N., Giannakis, Georgios B.

Understand

Graph convolutional networks (GCNs) are vulnerable to perturbations of the graph structure that are either random, or, adversarially designed.

  • The perturbed links modify the graph neighborhoods, which critically affects the performance of GCNs in semi-supervised learning (SSL) tasks.
  • Aiming at robustifying GCNs conditioned on the perturbed graph, the present paper generates multiple auxiliary graphs, each having its binary 0-1 edge weights flip values with probabilities designed to enhance robustness.
  • The resultant edge-dithered auxiliary graphs are leveraged by an adaptive (A)GCN that performs SSL.
