A novel deep neural network-based technique for network embedding

In this paper, the graph segmentation (GSeg) method has been proposed. This solution is a novel graph neural network framework for network embedding that leverages the inherent characteristics of nodes and the underlying local network topology. The key innovation of GSeg lies in its encoder-decoder architecture, which is specifically designed to preserve the network's structural properties. The key contributions of GSeg are: (1) a novel graph neural network architecture that effectively captures local and global network structures, and (2) a robust node representation learning approach that achieves superior performance in various network analysis tasks. The methodology employed in our study involves the utilization of a graph neural network framework for the acquisition of node representations. The design leverages the inherent characteristics of nodes and the underlying local network topology. To enhance the architectural framework of encoder- decoder networks, the GSeg model is specifically devised to exhibit a structural resemblance to the SegNet model. The obtained empirical results on multiple benchmark datasets demonstrate that the GSeg outperforms existing stateof-the-art methods in terms of network structure preservation and prediction accuracy for downstream tasks. The proposed technique has potential utility across a range of practical applications in the real world.
