In ICML 2020.

Overview

Properly designed multi-task self-supervision benefits GCNs in gaining more generalizability and robustness. In this repository we verify it through performing experiments on several GCN architectures with three designed self-supervised tasks: node clustering, graph partitioning and graph completion.

Dependencies

Please setup the environment following Section 3 (Setup Python environment for GPU) in this instruction, and then install the dependencies related to graph partitioning with the following commands:

sudo apt-get install libmetis-dev
pip install METIS==0.2a.4

Experiments

• GCN, GAT and GIN with self-supervision
• GMNN and GraphMix with self-supervision
• GCN with self-supervision in adversarial defense
