Variational Graph Auto

Variational Graph Auto-Encoders (VGAEs) are generative models used for learning representations of graph-structured data, aiming to capture complex relationships within networks. Current research focuses on improving VGAE architectures for tasks like subgraph prediction, node clustering, and generating graphs with disentangled representations, often incorporating techniques like contrastive learning and incorporating graph-level information alongside node-level details. These advancements enhance the ability to analyze and generate realistic graphs, impacting fields such as social network analysis, recommender systems, and even architectural design, by providing more accurate and interpretable models of complex relational data.
