Holistic Graph Neural Networks based on a global-based attention mechanism

作者:

Highlights:

• We propose the Holistic Graph Neural Network (HGNN) with a global-based attention mechanism.

• We also propose the Alpha Holistic Graph Neural Network a variant based on a hierarchical weighted aggregation mechanism.

• We test the proposed architecture on several benchmarks and achieve remarkable results.

• We investigate the best global graph pooling strategy which would enable our proposed architecture to gain in time and efficiency.

• We further demonstrate that other GNNs can greatly benefit from the addition of the global-based attention.
