Bayesian Semi-supervised Learning with Graph Gaussian Processes
We propose a data-efficient Gaussian process-based Bayesian approach to the
semi-supervised learning problem on graphs. The proposed model shows extremely
competitive performance when compared to the state-of-the-art graph neural
networks on semi-supervised learning benchmark experiments, and outperforms the
neural networks in active learning experiments where labels are scarce.
Furthermore, the model does not require a validation data set for early
stopping to control over-fitting. Our model can be viewed as an instance of
empirical distribution regression weighted locally by network connectivity. We
further motivate the intuitive construction of the model with a Bayesian linear
model interpretation where the node features are filtered by an operator
related to the graph Laplacian. The method can be easily implemented by
adapting off-the-shelf scalable variational inference algorithms for Gaussian
processes.Comment: To appear in NIPS 2018 Fixed an error in Figure 2. The previous arxiv
