Contrastive FUSE: Scalable Graph Learning with Partial Labels

other · 2026-05-20

Researchers introduced Contrastive FUSE, a framework for node representation learning in graphs with partial pairwise labels and no node features. It optimizes a spectral contrastive objective integrating community-aware signals with signed constraints. A lightweight approximation replaces the expensive modularity gradient, enabling efficient training on million-edge graphs. Experiments on benchmark citation networks, co-purchase graphs, and OGB datasets show competitive or superior classification performance.
