This paper investigates the problem of partial label graph learning, in which every graph is associated with a set of candidate labels. Previous methods for weakly supervised graph classification often provide pseudo-labels for graph samples that could be overconfident and biased towards the dominant classes, thus resulting in substantial error accumulation. In this paper, we introduce a new framework named Masked Optimal Transport with Dynamic Selection (MATE) for partial label graph learning, which improves the quality of graph assignments from the perspectives of class balancing and uncertainty mining. In particular, our MATE masks probabilities out of candidate sets and then adopts optimal transport to optimize the assignments without class biases. This design is based on the assumption that the true label distribution is class-balanced or nearly balanced, which is common in various training datasets and real-world scenarios. To further reduce potential noise, we propose a novel scoring metric termed partial energy discrepancy (PED) to evaluate the uncertainty of assignments, and then introduce a dynamic selection strategy that modifies the sample-specific thresholds via momentum updating. Finally, these samples are divided into three levels, i. e. , confident, less-confident, and unconfident and each group is trained separately in our collaborative optimization framework. Extensive experiments on various benchmarks demonstrate the superiority of our MATE compared to various state-of-the-art baselines.

This paper studies the problem of graph-level clustering, which is a novel yet challenging task. This problem is critical in a variety of real-world applications such as protein clustering and genome analysis in bioinformatics. Recent years have witnessed the success of deep clustering coupled with graph neural networks (GNNs). However, existing methods focus on clustering among nodes given a single graph, while exploring clustering on multiple graphs is still under-explored. In this paper, we propose a general graph-level clustering framework named Graph-Level Contrastive Clustering (GLCC) given multiple graphs. Specifically, GLCC first constructs an adaptive affinity graph to explore instance- and cluster-level contrastive learning (CL). Instance-level CL leverages graph Laplacian based contrastive loss to learn clustering-friendly representations while cluster-level CL captures discriminative cluster representations incorporating neighbor information of each sample. Moreover, we utilize neighbor-aware pseudo-labels to reward the optimization of representation learning. The two steps can be alternatively trained to collaborate and benefit each other. Experiments on a range of well-known datasets demonstrate the superiority of our proposed GLCC over competitive baselines.
