Nowadays, only a few researchers have attempted to introduce sample selection strategies developed in non-graph areas to limit the influence of noisy node labels. These studies often neglect the impact of inaccurate graph structure relationships, invalid utilization of noisy nodes and unlabeled nodes self-supervision information for noisy node labels constraint. More importantly, simply enhancing the accuracy of graph structure relationships or the utilization of nodes' self-supervision information still cannot minimize the influence of noisy node labels for open-set GNN. In this paper, we propose a novel RT-OGNN(robust training of open-set GNN) framework to solve the above-mentioned issues. Specifically, an effective graph structure learning module is proposed to weaken the impact of structure noise and extend the receptive field of nodes. Then, the augmented graph is sent to a pair of peer GNNs to accurately distinguish noisy node labels of labeled nodes. Third, the label propagation and multilayer perceptron-based decoder modules are simultaneously introduced to discover more supervision information from remaining nodes apart from clean nodes. Finally, we jointly optimize the above modules and open-set GNN in an end-to-end way via consistency regularization loss and cross-entropy loss, which minimizes the influence of noisy node labels and provides more supervision guidance for open-set GNN optimization.Extensive experiments on three benchmarks and various noise rates validate the superiority of RT-OGNN over state-of-the-art models.展开更多

The classification method of encrypted traffic based on GNN can deal with encrypted traffic well. However, existing GNN-based approaches ignore the relationship between client or server packets. In this paper, we design a network traffic topology based on GCN, called Flow Mapping Graph (FMG). FMG establishes sequential edges between vertexes by the arrival order of packets and establishes jump-order edges between vertexes by connecting packets in different bursts with the same direction. It not only reflects the time characteristics of the packet but also strengthens the relationship between the client or server packets. According to FMG, a Traffic Mapping Classification model (TMC-GCN) is designed, which can automatically capture and learn the characteristics and structure information of the top vertex in FMG. The TMC-GCN model is used to classify the encrypted traffic. The encryption stream classification problem is transformed into a graph classification problem, which can effectively deal with data from different data sources and application scenarios. By comparing the performance of TMC-GCN with other classical models in four public datasets, including CICIOT2023, ISCXVPN2016, CICAAGM2017, and GraphDapp, the effectiveness of the FMG algorithm is verified. The experimental results show that the accuracy rate of the TMC-GCN model is 96.13%, the recall rate is 95.04%, and the F1 rate is 94.54%.展开更多

Most researchers consider intra-class dependencies to improve localization accuracy. However, some studies show that inter-class method call type faults account for more than 20%, which means such methods still have certain limitations. To solve the above problems, this paper proposes a two-phase software fault localization based on relational graph convolutional neural networks (Two-RGCNFL). Firstly, in Phase 1, the method call dependence graph (MCDG) of the program is constructed, the intra-class and inter-class dependencies in MCDG are extracted by using the relational graph convolutional neural network, and the classifier is used to identify the faulty methods. Then, the GraphSMOTE algorithm is improved to alleviate the impact of class imbalance on classification accuracy. Aiming at the problem of parallel ranking of element suspicious values in traditional SBFL technology, in Phase 2, Doc2Vec is used to learn static features, while spectrum information serves as dynamic features. A RankNet model based on siamese multi-layer perceptron is constructed to score and rank statements in the faulty method. This work conducts experiments on 5 real projects of Defects4J benchmark. Experimental results show that, compared with the traditional SBFL technique and two baseline methods, our approach improves the Top-1 accuracy by 262.86%, 29.59% and 53.01%, respectively, which verifies the effectiveness of Two-RGCNFL. Furthermore, this work verifies the importance of inter-class dependencies through ablation experiments.展开更多

Despite the plethora of prior work on inference attacks against centralized GNNs, the vulnerability of FedGNNs to inference attacks has not yet been widely explored. It is still unclear whether the privacy leakage risks of centralized GNNs will also be introduced in FedGNNs. To bridge this gap, we present PIAFGNN, the first property inference attack (PIA) against FedGNNs. Compared with prior works on centralized GNNs, in PIAFGNN, the attacker can only obtain the global embedding gradient distributed by the central server. The attacker converts the task of stealing the target user’s local embeddings into a regression problem, using a regression model to generate the target graph node embeddings. By training shadow models and property classifiers, the attacker can infer the basic property information within the target graph that is of interest. Experiments on three benchmark graph datasets demonstrate that PIAFGNN achieves attack accuracy of over 70% in most cases, even approaching the attack accuracy of inference attacks against centralized GNNs in some instances, which is much higher than the attack accuracy of the random guessing method. Furthermore, we observe that common defense mechanisms cannot mitigate our attack without affecting the model’s performance on mainly classification tasks.展开更多

To meet the diverse needs of tasks, it usually needs to instantiate multiple network functions in the form of containers interconnect various generated containers to build a Container Cluster(CC). Then CCs will be deployed on edge service nodes with relatively limited resources. However, the increasingly complex and timevarying nature of tasks brings great challenges to optimal placement of CC. This paper regards the charges for various resources occupied by providing services as revenue, the service efficiency and energy consumption as cost, thus formulates a Mixed Integer Programming(MIP) model to describe the optimal placement of CC on edge service nodes. Furthermore, an Actor-Critic based Deep Reinforcement Learning(DRL) incorporating Graph Convolutional Networks(GCN) framework named as RL-GCN is proposed to solve the optimization problem. The framework obtains an optimal placement strategy through self-learning according to the requirements and objectives of the placement of CC. Particularly, through the introduction of GCN, the features of the association relationship between multiple containers in CCs can be effectively extracted to improve the quality of placement.The experiment results show that under different scales of service nodes and task requests, the proposed method can obtain the improved system performance in terms of placement error ratio, time efficiency of solution output and cumulative system revenue compared with other representative baseline methods.展开更多

These studies often neglect the impact of inaccurate graph structure relationships, invalid utilization of noisy nodes and unlabeled nodes self-supervision information for noisy node labels constraint. More importantly, simply enhancing the accuracy of graph structure relationships or the utilization of nodes' self-supervision information still cannot minimize the influence of noisy node labels for open-set GNN. In this paper, we propose a novel RT-OGNN(robust training of open-set GNN) framework to solve the above-mentioned issues. Specifically, an effective graph structure learning module is proposed to weaken the impact of structure noise and extend the receptive field of nodes. Then, the augmented graph is sent to a pair of peer GNNs to accurately distinguish noisy node labels of labeled nodes. Third, the label propagation and multilayer perceptron-based decoder modules are simultaneously introduced to discover more supervision information from remaining nodes apart from clean nodes. Finally, we jointly optimize the above modules and open-set GNN in an end-to-end way via consistency regularization loss and cross-entropy loss, which minimizes the influence of noisy node labels and provides more supervision guidance for open-set GNN optimization.Extensive experiments on three benchmarks and various noise rates validate the superiority of RT-OGNN over state-of-the-art models.

文摘This study proposes a novel forecasting framework that simultaneously captures the strong periodicity and irregular meteorological fluctuations inherent in solar radiation time series.Existing approaches typically define inter-regional correlations using either simple correlation coefficients or distance-based measures when applying spatio-temporal graph neural networks(STGNNs).However,such definitions are prone to generating spurious correlations due to the dominance of periodic structures.To address this limitation,we adopt the Elastic-Band Transform(EBT)to decompose solar radiation into periodic and amplitude-modulated components,which are then modeled independently with separate graph neural networks.The periodic component,characterized by strong nationwide correlations,is learned with a relatively simple architecture,whereas the amplitude-modulated component is modeled with more complex STGNNs that capture climatological similarities between regions.The predictions from the two components are subsequently recombined to yield final forecasts that integrate both periodic patterns and aperiodic variability.The proposed framework is validated with multiple STGNN architectures,and experimental results demonstrate improved predictive accuracy and interpretability compared to conventional methods.

文摘With the emphasis on user privacy and communication security, encrypted traffic has increased dramatically, which brings great challenges to traffic classification. The classification method of encrypted traffic based on GNN can deal with encrypted traffic well. However, existing GNN-based approaches ignore the relationship between client or server packets. In this paper, we design a network traffic topology based on GCN, called Flow Mapping Graph (FMG). FMG establishes sequential edges between vertexes by the arrival order of packets and establishes jump-order edges between vertexes by connecting packets in different bursts with the same direction. It not only reflects the time characteristics of the packet but also strengthens the relationship between the client or server packets. According to FMG, a Traffic Mapping Classification model (TMC-GCN) is designed, which can automatically capture and learn the characteristics and structure information of the top vertex in FMG. The TMC-GCN model is used to classify the encrypted traffic. The encryption stream classification problem is transformed into a graph classification problem, which can effectively deal with data from different data sources and application scenarios. By comparing the performance of TMC-GCN with other classical models in four public datasets, including CICIOT2023, ISCXVPN2016, CICAAGM2017, and GraphDapp, the effectiveness of the FMG algorithm is verified. The experimental results show that the accuracy rate of the TMC-GCN model is 96.13%, the recall rate is 95.04%, and the F1 rate is 94.54%.

文摘Spectrum-based fault localization (SBFL) generates a ranked list of suspicious elements by using the program execution spectrum, but the excessive number of elements ranked in parallel results in low localization accuracy. Most researchers consider intra-class dependencies to improve localization accuracy. However, some studies show that inter-class method call type faults account for more than 20%, which means such methods still have certain limitations. To solve the above problems, this paper proposes a two-phase software fault localization based on relational graph convolutional neural networks (Two-RGCNFL). Firstly, in Phase 1, the method call dependence graph (MCDG) of the program is constructed, the intra-class and inter-class dependencies in MCDG are extracted by using the relational graph convolutional neural network, and the classifier is used to identify the faulty methods. Then, the GraphSMOTE algorithm is improved to alleviate the impact of class imbalance on classification accuracy. Aiming at the problem of parallel ranking of element suspicious values in traditional SBFL technology, in Phase 2, Doc2Vec is used to learn static features, while spectrum information serves as dynamic features. A RankNet model based on siamese multi-layer perceptron is constructed to score and rank statements in the faulty method. This work conducts experiments on 5 real projects of Defects4J benchmark. Experimental results show that, compared with the traditional SBFL technique and two baseline methods, our approach improves the Top-1 accuracy by 262.86%, 29.59% and 53.01%, respectively, which verifies the effectiveness of Two-RGCNFL. Furthermore, this work verifies the importance of inter-class dependencies through ablation experiments.

文摘Accurate and efficient prediction of the distribution of surface loads on buildings subjected to explosive effects is crucial for rapidly calculating structural dynamic responses,establishing effective protective measures,and designing civil defense engineering solutions.Current state-of-the-art methods face several issues:Experimental research is difficult and costly to implement,theoretical research is limited to simple geometries and lacks precision,and direct simulations require substantial computational resources.To address these challenges,this paper presents a data-driven method for predicting blast loads on building surfaces.This approach increases both the accuracy and computational efficiency of load predictions when the geometry of the building changes while the explosive yield remains constant,significantly improving its applicability in complex scenarios.This study introduces an innovative encoder-decoder graph neural network model named BlastGraphNet,which uses a message-passing mechanism to predict the overpressure and impulse load distributions on buildings with conventional and complex geometries during explosive events.The model also facilitates related downstream applications,such as damage mode identification and rapid assessment of virtual city explosions.The calculation results indicate that the prediction error of the model for conventional building tests is less than 2%,and its inference speed is 3-4 orders of magnitude faster than that of state-of-the-art numerical methods.In extreme test cases involving buildings with complex geometries and building clusters,the method achieved high accuracy and excellent generalizability.The strong adaptability and generalizability of BlastGraphNet confirm that this novel method enables precise real-time prediction of blast loads and provides a new paradigm for damage assessment in protective engineering.

文摘Traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)features complex compatibility mechanisms involving multicomponent,multi-target,and multi-pathway interactions.This study presents an interpretable graph artificial intelligence(GraphAI)framework to quantify such mechanisms in Chinese herbal formulas(CHFs).A multidimensional TCM knowledge graph(TCM-MKG;https://zenodo.org/records/13763953)was constructed,integrating seven standardized modules:TCM terminology,Chinese patent medicines(CPMs),Chinese herbal pieces(CHPs),pharmacognostic origins(POs),chemical compounds,biological targets,and diseases.A neighbor-diffusion strategy was used to address the sparsity of compound-target associations,increasing target coverage from 12.0%to 98.7%.Graph neural networks(GNNs)with attention mechanisms were applied to 6,080 CHFs,modeled as graphs with CHPs as nodes.To embed domain-specific semantics,virtual nodes medicinal properties,i.e.,therapeutic nature,flavor,and meridian tropism,were introduced,enabling interpretable modeling of inter-CHP relationships.The model quantitatively captured classical compatibility roles such as“monarch-minister-assistant-guide”,and uncovered TCM etiological types derived from diagnostic and efficacy patterns.Model validation using 215 CHFs used for coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19)management highlighted Radix Astragali-Rhizoma Phragmitis as a high-attention herb pair.Mass spectrometry(MS)and target prediction identified three active compounds,i.e.,methylinissolin-3-O-glucoside,corydalin,and pingbeinine,which converge on pathways such as neuroactive ligand-receptor interaction,xenobiotic response,and neuronal function,supporting their neuroimmune and detoxification potential.Given their high safety and dietary compatibility,this herb pair may offer therapeutic value for managing long COVID-19.All data and code are openly available(https://github.com/ZENGJingqi/GraphAI-for-TCM),providing a scalable and interpretable platform for TCM mechanism research and discovery of bioactive herbal constituents.
文摘The increasing popularity of the Internet and the widespread use of information technology have led to a rise in the number and sophistication of network attacks and security threats.Intrusion detection systems are crucial to network security,playing a pivotal role in safeguarding networks from potential threats.However,in the context of an evolving landscape of sophisticated and elusive attacks,existing intrusion detection methodologies often overlook critical aspects such as changes in network topology over time and interactions between hosts.To address these issues,this paper proposes a real-time network intrusion detection method based on graph neural networks.The proposedmethod leverages the advantages of graph neural networks and employs a straightforward graph construction method to represent network traffic as dynamic graph-structured data.Additionally,a graph convolution operation with a multi-head attention mechanism is utilized to enhance the model’s ability to capture the intricate relationships within the graph structure comprehensively.Furthermore,it uses an integrated graph neural network to address dynamic graphs’structural and topological changes at different time points and the challenges of edge embedding in intrusion detection data.The edge classification problem is effectively transformed into node classification by employing a line graph data representation,which facilitates fine-grained intrusion detection tasks on dynamic graph node feature representations.The efficacy of the proposed method is evaluated using two commonly used intrusion detection datasets,UNSW-NB15 and NF-ToN-IoT-v2,and results are compared with previous studies in this field.The experimental results demonstrate that our proposed method achieves 99.3%and 99.96%accuracy on the two datasets,respectively,and outperforms the benchmark model in several evaluation metrics.

文摘In the burgeoning field of anomaly detection within attributed networks,traditional methodologies often encounter the intricacies of network complexity,particularly in capturing nonlinearity and sparsity.This study introduces an innovative approach that synergizes the strengths of graph convolutional networks with advanced deep residual learning and a unique residual-based attention mechanism,thereby creating a more nuanced and efficient method for anomaly detection in complex networks.The heart of our model lies in the integration of graph convolutional networks that capture complex structural relationships within the network data.This is further bolstered by deep residual learning,which is employed to model intricate nonlinear connections directly from input data.A pivotal innovation in our approach is the incorporation of a residual-based attention mech-anism.This mechanism dynamically adjusts the importance of nodes based on their residual information,thereby significantly enhancing the sensitivity of the model to subtle anomalies.Furthermore,we introduce a novel hypersphere mapping technique in the latent space to distinctly separate normal and anomalous data.This mapping is the key to our model’s ability to pinpoint anomalies with greater precision.An extensive experimental setup was used to validate the efficacy of the proposed model.Using attributed social network datasets,we demonstrate that our model not only competes with but also surpasses existing state-of-the-art methods in anomaly detection.The results show the exceptional capability of our model to handle the multifaceted nature of real-world networks.

文摘Federated Graph Neural Networks (FedGNNs) have achieved significant success in representation learning for graph data, enabling collaborative training among multiple parties without sharing their raw graph data and solving the data isolation problem faced by centralized GNNs in data-sensitive scenarios. Despite the plethora of prior work on inference attacks against centralized GNNs, the vulnerability of FedGNNs to inference attacks has not yet been widely explored. It is still unclear whether the privacy leakage risks of centralized GNNs will also be introduced in FedGNNs. To bridge this gap, we present PIAFGNN, the first property inference attack (PIA) against FedGNNs. Compared with prior works on centralized GNNs, in PIAFGNN, the attacker can only obtain the global embedding gradient distributed by the central server. The attacker converts the task of stealing the target user’s local embeddings into a regression problem, using a regression model to generate the target graph node embeddings. By training shadow models and property classifiers, the attacker can infer the basic property information within the target graph that is of interest. Experiments on three benchmark graph datasets demonstrate that PIAFGNN achieves attack accuracy of over 70% in most cases, even approaching the attack accuracy of inference attacks against centralized GNNs in some instances, which is much higher than the attack accuracy of the random guessing method. Furthermore, we observe that common defense mechanisms cannot mitigate our attack without affecting the model’s performance on mainly classification tasks.

文摘Graph Neural Networks(GNNs)have demonstrated outstanding capabilities in processing graph-structured data and are increasingly being integrated into large-scale pre-trained models,such as Large Language Models(LLMs),to enhance structural reasoning,knowledge retrieval,and memory management.The expansion of their application scope imposes higher requirements on the robustness of GNNs.However,as GNNs are applied to more dynamic and heterogeneous environments,they become increasingly vulnerable to real-world perturbations.In particular,graph data frequently encounters joint adversarial perturbations that simultaneously affect both structures and features,which are significantly more challenging than isolated attacks.These disruptions,caused by incomplete data,malicious attacks,or inherent noise,pose substantial threats to the stable and reliable performance of traditional GNN models.To address this issue,this study proposes the Dual-Shield Graph Neural Network(DSGNN),a defense model that simultaneously mitigates structural and feature perturbations.DSGNN utilizes two parallel GNN channels to independently process structural noise and feature noise,and introduces an adaptive fusion mechanism that integrates information from both pathways to generate robust node representations.Theoretical analysis demonstrates that DSGNN achieves a tighter robustness boundary under joint perturbations compared to conventional single-channel methods.Experimental evaluations across Cora,CiteSeer,and Industry datasets show that DSGNN achieves the highest average classification accuracy under various adversarial settings,reaching 81.24%,71.94%,and 81.66%,respectively,outperforming GNNGuard,GCN-Jaccard,GCN-SVD,RGCN,and NoisyGNN.These results underscore the importance of multi-view perturbation decoupling in constructing resilient GNN models for real-world applications.

文摘Machine learning algorithms are widely used to interpret well logging data.To enhance the algorithms'robustness,shuffling the well logging data is an unavoidable feature engineering before training models.However,latent information stored between different well logging types and depth is destroyed during the shuffle.To investigate the influence of latent information,this study implements graph convolution networks(GCNs),long-short temporal memory models,recurrent neural networks,temporal convolution networks,and two artificial neural networks to predict the microbial lithology in the fourth member of the Dengying Formation,Moxi gas field,central Sichuan Basin.Results indicate that the GCN model outperforms other models.The accuracy,F1-score,and area under curve of the GCN model are 0.90,0.90,and 0.95,respectively.Experimental results indicate that the time-series data facilitates lithology prediction and helps determine lithological fluctuations in the vertical direction.All types of logs from the spectral in the GCN model and also facilitates lithology identification.Only on condition combined with latent information,the GCN model reaches excellent microbialite classification resolution at the centimeter scale.Ultimately,the two actual cases show tricks for using GCN models to predict potential microbialite in other formations and areas,proving that the GCN model can be adopted in the industry.
文摘Recently,numerous estimation issues have been solved due to the developments in data-driven artificial neural networks(ANN)and graph neural networks(GNN).The primary limitation of previous methodologies has been the dependence on data that can be structured in a grid format.However,physiological recordings often exhibit irregular and unordered patterns,posing a significant challenge in conceptualising them as matrices.As a result,GNNs which comprise interactive nodes connected by edges whose weights are defined by anatomical junctions or temporal relationships have received a lot of consideration by leveraging implicit data that exists in a biological system.Additionally,our study incorporates a structural GNN to effectively differentiate between different degrees of infection in both the left and right hemispheres of the brain.Subsequently,demographic data are included,and a multi-task learning architecture is devised,integrating classification and regression tasks.The trials used an authentic dataset,including 800 brain x-ray pictures,consisting of 560 instances classified as moderate cases and 240 instances classified as severe cases.Based on empirical evidence,our methodology demonstrates superior performance in classification,surpassing other comparison methods with a notable achievement of 92.27%in terms of area under the curve as well as a correlation coefficient of 0.62.

文摘The increasing frequency of offshore engineering activities,particularly the expansion of offshore oil transport and the rise in the number of oil platforms,has greatly increased the potential risk of marine oil spill incidents.Historically,several large oil spills have had long-term adverse effects on marine ecosystems and economic development,highlighting the importance of accurate-ly delineating and monitoring oil spill areas.In this study,graph neural network technology is introduced to implement semantic seg-mentation of SAR images,and two graph neural network models based on Graph-FCN and Graph-DeepLabV3+with the introduction of an attention mechanism are constructed and evaluated to improve the accuracy and efficiency of oil spill detection.By com-paring the Swin-Unet model,the Graph-DeepLabV3+model performs better in complex scenarios,especially in edge detail recognition.This not only provides strong technical support for marine oil spill monitoring but also provides an effective solution to deal with the potential risks brought by the increase of marine engineering activities,which is of great practical significance as it helps to safeguard the health and sustainable development of marine ecosystems and reduce the economic losses.
文摘Container-based virtualization technology has been more widely used in edge computing environments recently due to its advantages of lighter resource occupation, faster startup capability, and better resource utilization efficiency. To meet the diverse needs of tasks, it usually needs to instantiate multiple network functions in the form of containers interconnect various generated containers to build a Container Cluster(CC). Then CCs will be deployed on edge service nodes with relatively limited resources. However, the increasingly complex and timevarying nature of tasks brings great challenges to optimal placement of CC. This paper regards the charges for various resources occupied by providing services as revenue, the service efficiency and energy consumption as cost, thus formulates a Mixed Integer Programming(MIP) model to describe the optimal placement of CC on edge service nodes. Furthermore, an Actor-Critic based Deep Reinforcement Learning(DRL) incorporating Graph Convolutional Networks(GCN) framework named as RL-GCN is proposed to solve the optimization problem. The framework obtains an optimal placement strategy through self-learning according to the requirements and objectives of the placement of CC. Particularly, through the introduction of GCN, the features of the association relationship between multiple containers in CCs can be effectively extracted to improve the quality of placement.The experiment results show that under different scales of service nodes and task requests, the proposed method can obtain the improved system performance in terms of placement error ratio, time efficiency of solution output and cumulative system revenue compared with other representative baseline methods.

文摘Recommendation systems(RSs)are crucial in personalizing user experiences in digital environments by suggesting relevant content or items.Collaborative filtering(CF)is a widely used personalization technique that leverages user-item interactions to generate recommendations.However,it struggles with challenges like the cold-start problem,scalability issues,and data sparsity.To address these limitations,we develop a Graph Convolutional Networks(GCNs)model that captures the complex network of interactions between users and items,identifying subtle patterns that traditional methods may overlook.We integrate this GCNs model into a federated learning(FL)framework,enabling themodel to learn fromdecentralized datasets.This not only significantly enhances user privacy—a significant improvement over conventionalmodels but also reassures users about the safety of their data.Additionally,by securely incorporating demographic information,our approach further personalizes recommendations and mitigates the coldstart issue without compromising user data.We validate our RSs model using the openMovieLens dataset and evaluate its performance across six key metrics:Precision,Recall,Area Under the Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve(ROC-AUC),F1 Score,Normalized Discounted Cumulative Gain(NDCG),and Mean Reciprocal Rank(MRR).The experimental results demonstrate significant enhancements in recommendation quality,underscoring that combining GCNs with CF in a federated setting provides a transformative solution for advanced recommendation systems.
