Permutation-InvariantVariationalAutoencoderfor Graph-LevelRepresentationLearning

Most work, however, focuses on either node-or graph-level supervised learning, such as node, link or graph classification or node-level unsupervised learning (e.g., node clustering). Despite its wide range of possible applications, graph-level unsupervised representation learning has not received much attention yet. This might be mainly attributed to the high representation complexity ofgraphs, which can berepresented byn!equivalent adjacencymatrices, where n is the number of nodes. In this work we address this issue by proposing a permutation-invariant variational autoencoder for graph structured data.
