    Intrinsic Graph Topological Correlation for Graph Convolutional Network Propagation
    (Elsevier, 2023-01) Coskun, Mustafa
    Recently, Graph Convolutional Networks (GCNs) and their variants become popular to learn graph-related tasks. These tasks include link prediction, node classification, and node embedding, among many others. In the node classification problem, the input is a graph with some labeled nodes and the features associated with these nodes and the objective is to predict the unlabeled nodes. While the GCNs have been successfully applied to this problem, some caveats that are inherited from classical deep learning remain unsolved. One such inherited caveat is that, during classification, GCNs only consider the nodes that are a few neighbors away from the labeled nodes. However, considering only a few steps away nodes could not effectively exploit the underlying graph topological information. To remedy this problem, the state-of-the-art methods leverage the network diffusion approaches, such as personalized PageRank and its variants, to fully account for the graph topology. However, these approaches overlook the fact that the network diffusion methods favour high degree nodes in the graph, resulting in the propagation of the labels to the unlabeled,hub nodes. In order to overcome bias, in this paper, we propose to utilize a dimensionality reduction technique, which is conjugate with personalized PageRank. Testing on four real-world networks that are commonly used in benchmarking GCNs' performance for the node classification task, we systematically evaluate the performance of the proposed methodology and show that our approach outperforms existing methods for wide ranges of parameter values. Since our method requires only a few training epochs, it releases the heavy training burden of GCNs.

    Combining N-Grams and Graph Convolution for Text Classification
    (Elsevier, 2025-05) Sen, Tarik Uveys; Yakit, Mehmet Can; Gumus, Mehmet Semih; Abar, Orhan; Bakal, Gokhan
    Text classification, a cornerstone of natural language processing (NLP), finds applications in diverse areas, from sentiment analysis to topic categorization. While deep learning models have recently dominated the field, traditional n-gram-driven approaches often struggle to achieve comparable performance, particularly on large datasets. This gap largely stems from deep learning' s superior ability to capture contextual information through word embeddings. This paper explores a novel approach to leverage the often-overlooked power of n-gram features for enriching word representations and boosting text classification accuracy. We propose a method that transforms textual data into graph structures, utilizing discriminative n-gram series to establish long-range relationships between words. By training a graph convolution network on these graphs, we derive contextually enhanced word embeddings that encapsulate dependencies extending beyond local contexts. Our experiments demonstrate that integrating these enriched embeddings into an long-short term memory (LSTM) model for text classification leads to around 2% improvements in classification performance across diverse datasets. This achievement highlights the synergy of combining traditional n-gram features with graph-based deep learning techniques for building more powerful text classifiers.
