Subgraph Sampling

Subgraph sampling techniques aim to efficiently process large graphs by focusing on smaller, representative subgraphs for tasks like node classification and link prediction within graph neural networks (GNNs). Current research emphasizes developing sophisticated sampling strategies that account for graph characteristics like homophily and heterophily, and optimizing these strategies for both speed and accuracy, often incorporating techniques like submodularity and contrastive learning. These advancements are crucial for scaling GNNs to massive datasets and improving their performance in various applications, including molecular property prediction and decentralized learning over wireless networks.
