Abstract
Graphs are used to model pairwise relations between entities in many real-world scenarios such as social networks. Graph Neural Networks(GNNs) have shown their superior ability in learning representations for graph structured data, which leads to performance improvements in many graph related tasks such as link prediction, node classification and graph classification. Most of the existing graph neural networks models are designed for static graphs while many real-world graphs are inherently dynamic with new nodes and edges constantly emerging. Existing graph neural network models cannot utilize the dynamic information, which has been shown to enhance the performance of many graph analytic tasks such as community detection. Hence, in this paper, we propose DyGNN, a Dynamic Graph Neural Network model, which can model the dynamic information as the graph evolving. In particular, the proposed framework keeps updating node information by capturing the sequential information of edges (interactions), the time intervals between edges and information propagation coherently. Experimental results on various dynamic graphs demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed framework.
