We present a deep Graph Convolutional Kernel Machine (GCKM) for semi-supervised node classification in graphs. First, we introduce an unsupervised kernel machine propagating the node features in a one-hop neighbourhood. Then, we specify a semi-supervised classification kernel machine through the lens of the Fenchel-Young inequality. The deep graph convolutional kernel machine is obtained by stacking multiple shallow kernel machines. After showing that unsupervised and semi-supervised layer corresponds to an eigenvalue problem and a linear system on the aggregated node features, respectively, we derive an efficient end-to-end training algorithm in the dual variables. Numerical experiments demonstrate that our approach is competitive with state-of-the-art graph neural networks for homophilious and heterophilious benchmark datasets. Notably, GCKM achieves superior performance when very few labels are available.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
