Personalized PageRank Graph Attention Networks

There has been a rising interest in graph neural networks (GNNs) for representation learning over the past few years. GNNs provide a general and efficient framework to learn from graph-structured data. However, GNNs typically only use the information of a very limited neighborhood for each node to avoid over-smoothing. A larger neighborhood would be desirable to provide the model with more information. In this work, we incorporate the limit distribution of Personalized PageRank (PPR) into graph attention networks (GATs) to reflect the larger neighbor information without introducing over-smoothing. Intuitively, message aggregation based on Personalized PageRank corresponds to infinitely many neighborhood aggregation layers. We show that our models outperform a variety of baseline models for four widely used benchmark datasets. Our implementation is publicly available online.
