Despite their prominent achievements, recent GNNs do not pay enough attention to discriminate nodes when determining the information sources. Some of them select information sources from all or part of its neighbors without distinction, others merely distinguish nodes by employing attention mechanisms on features. To solve this problem, we propose the concept of the Influence Set and design a novel general GNN framework named Graph Influence Network (GINN), which discriminates neighbors by evaluating their influences on targets. In GINN, both topological structure and node features of the graph are utilized to find the most influential nodes. More specifically, given a target node, we first construct its Influence Set from the corresponding neighbors based on the local graph structure. To this aim, the pairwise influence comparison relations are extracted from random walks and a Hodge Rank based algorithm with analytical expression is devised to estimate the neighbors' structure influences. Then, after determining the Influence Set, the feature influences of nodes in the set are measured by the attention mechanism, and some task-irrelevant ones are further dislodged. Finally, only neighbor nodes that have high accessibility in structure and strong task-relevance in features are chosen as the information sources. Extensive experiments on several datasets demonstrate that our model achieves state-of-the-art performances over several baselines and prove the effectiveness of discriminating neighbors in the graph representation learning. | | | |
