Variational Recurrent Neural Networks for Graph Classification

Year: 2019
Type: preprint
Abstract: We address the problem of graph classification based only on structural information. Inspired by natural language processing techniques (NLP), our model sequentially embeds information to estimate class membership probabilities. Besides, we experiment with NLP-like variational regularization techniques, making the model predict the next node in the sequence as it reads it. We experimentally show that our model achieves state-of-the-art classification results on several standard molecular datasets. Finally, we perform a qualitative analysis and give some insights on whether the node prediction helps the model better classify graphs.
