GRAPH LEARNING ATTENTION MECHANISM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240160904 titled 'GRAPH LEARNING ATTENTION MECHANISM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method for generating node representations in a graph, selecting a subgraph based on structure learning scores, and performing inferencing operations using a representation learner on the selected subgraph.

  • Node representations are generated for node features in a graph.
  • Structure learning scores are calculated for each edge in the graph based on the node representations.
  • A subset of edges with structure learning scores above a threshold are selected to form a subgraph.
  • The subgraph is inputted to a representation learner for inferencing operations.

Original Abstract Submitted

a graph with a plurality of nodes, a plurality of edges, and a plurality of node features is obtained and node representations for the node features are generated. a plurality of structure learning scores is generated based on the node representations, each structure learning score corresponding to one of the plurality of edges. a subset of the plurality of edges that identify a subgraph is selected, each edge of the subset having a structure learning score that is greater than a given threshold. the subgraph is inputted to a representation learner and an inferencing operation is performed using the representation learner based on the subgraph.
