New Link Prediction Models L-GRACE and L-BGRL Proposed

publication · 2026-05-22

A new arXiv preprint (2605.20257) proposes adapting instance discrimination models for link prediction in graphs. The authors first evaluate existing self-supervised models for link prediction, finding performance depends on augmentation, similar to computer vision. They introduce a structural augmentation based on community structure. Their main contribution is two new models, L-GRACE and L-BGRL, which use link representations instead of node representations, improving upon existing methods.

Key facts

  • A new structural augmentation based on community structure is proposed.
  • Two new models are introduced: L-GRACE and L-BGRL.
  • These models use link representations instead of node representations.
  • The new models improve performance of existing methods.
