Sequential recommendation is a crucial task in understanding users' evolving interests and predicting their future behaviors. While existing approaches on sequence or graph modeling to learn interaction sequences of users have shown promising performance, how to effectively exploit temporal information and deal with the uncertainty noise in evolving user behaviors is still quite challenging. To this end, in this paper, we propose a Temporal Graph Contrastive Learning method for Sequential Recommendation (TGCL4SR) which leverages not only local interaction sequences but also global temporal graphs to comprehend item correlations and analyze user behaviors from a temporal perspective. Specifically, we first devise a Temporal Item Transition Graph (TITG) to fully leverage global interactions to understand item correlations, and augment this graph by dual transformations based on neighbor sampling and time disturbance. Accordingly, we design a Temporal item Transition graph Convolutional network (TiTConv) to capture temporal item transition patterns in TITG. Then, a novel Temporal Graph Contrastive Learning (TGCL) mechanism is designed to enhance the uniformity of representations between augmented graphs from identical sequences. For local interaction sequences, we design a temporal sequence encoder to incorporate time interval embeddings into the architecture of Transformer. At the training stage, we take maximum mean discrepancy and TGCL losses as auxiliary objectives. Extensive experiments on several real-world datasets show the effectiveness of TGCL4SR against state-of-the-art baselines of sequential recommendation.

Recently many efforts have been devoted to applying graph neural networks (GNNs) to molecular property prediction which is a fundamental task for computational drug and material discovery. One of major obstacles to hinder the successful prediction of molecular property by GNNs is the scarcity of labeled data. Though graph contrastive learning (GCL) methods have achieved extraordinary performance with insufficient labeled data, most focused on designing data augmentation schemes for general graphs. However, the fundamental property of a molecule could be altered with the augmentation method (like random perturbation) on molecular graphs. Whereas, the critical geometric information of molecules remains rarely explored under the current GNN and GCL architectures. To this end, we propose a novel graph contrastive learning method utilizing the geometry of the molecule across 2D and 3D views, which is named GeomGCL. Specifically, we first devise a dual-view geometric message passing network (GeomMPNN) to adaptively leverage the rich information of both 2D and 3D graphs of a molecule. The incorporation of geometric properties at different levels can greatly facilitate the molecular representation learning. Then a novel geometric graph contrastive scheme is designed to make both geometric views collaboratively supervise each other to improve the generalization ability of GeomMPNN. We evaluate GeomGCL on various downstream property prediction tasks via a finetune process. Experimental results on seven real-life molecular datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed GeomGCL against state-of-the-art baselines.
