Introduction

Without supervision signals, Rationale-aware Graph Contrastive Learning (RGCL) uses a rationale generator to reveal salient features about graph instance-discrimination as the rationale, and then creates rationale-aware views for contrastive learning. This rationale-aware pre-training scheme endows the backbone model with the powerful representation ability, further facilitating the fine-tuning on downstream tasks.

Experiments

• Transfer Learning on MoleculeNet datasets
• Semi-supervised learning on Superpixel MNIST dataset
• Unsupervised representation learning on TU datasets

Potential Issues

Some issues might occur due to the version mismatch.

• KeyError:'num_nodes' in unsupervised_TU: Shen-Lab/GraphCL#36, Shen-Lab/GraphCL#41
• AttributeError: 'Data' object has no attribute 'cat_dim' in transferLearning_MoleculeNet_PPI: Shen-Lab/GraphCL#13
