Link Prediction and Node Classification Based on Multitask Graph Autoencoder

The goal of network representation learning is to extract deep-level abstraction from data features that can also be viewed as a process of transforming the high-dimensional data to low-dimensional features. Learning the mapping functions between two vector spaces is an essential problem. In this paper, we propose a new similarity index based on traditional machine learning, which integrates the concepts of common neighbor, local path, and preferential attachment. Furthermore, for applying the link prediction methods to the field of node classification, we have innovatively established an architecture named multitask graph autoencoder. Specifically, in the context of structural deep network embedding, the architecture designs a framework of highorder loss function by calculating the node similarity from multiple angles so that the model can make up for the deficiency of the second-order loss function. Through the parameter fine-tuning, the high-order loss function is introduced into the optimized autoencoder. Proved by the effective experiments, the framework is generally applicable to the majority of classical similarity indexes.
