Meta Transductive Linear Probing for Few-Shot Node Classification

Graph few-shot learning aims to predict well by training with very few labeled data. Meta learning has been the most popular solution for few-shot learning problem. However, transductive linear probing shows that fine-tuning a simple linear classification head after a pretrained graph neural networks can outperforms most of the sophisticated-designed graph meta learning algorithms. Therefore, in the paper, we propose a meta transductive linear probing methods named Meta-TLP to incorporate the advantages of graph self-supervised and graph meta learning model. Specifically, the graph neural network is firstly pretrained with graph contrastive learning methods. Then we design an unsupervised meta training task construction methods to require meta tasks without relying on labeled data. Finally, we meta training the linear classification head on the meta training tasks to learn to fast adopt to novel classes. Experiment results show that our model can perform better than TLP on three real world datasets.
