Graph contrastive learning with node-level accurate difference by Pengfei Jiao, Kaiyan Yu, Qing Bao, Ying Jiang, Xuan Guo, Zhidong Zhao

“…Specifically, we train the model to distinguish between original and augmented nodes via a node discriminator and employ cosine dissimilarity to accurately measure the difference between each node. Furthermore, we employ multiple types of data augmentation commonly used in current GCL methods on the original graph, aiming to learn the differences between nodes under different augmentation strategies and help the model learn richer local information. …”
