| 2025 | Faster Convergence in Mini-batch Graph Neural Networks Training with Pseudo Full Neighborhood CompensationabstractGraph Neural Networks (GNNs) have achieved remarkable success in various graph-related tasks. However, training GNNs on large-scale graphs is hindered by the neighbor explosion problem, rendering full-batch training computationally infeasible. Mini-batch training with neighbor sampling is a widely adopted solution, but it introduces gradient estimation errors that slow convergence and reduce model accuracy. In this work, we identify two primary sources of these errors: (1) missing gradient contributions from unsampled target nodes, and (2) inaccuracies in messages computed from sampled nodes. While existing methods largely focus on mitigating the second source, they often overlook the first, resulting in incomplete gradient estimation. To address this gap, we propose the Pseudo Full Neighborhood Compensation (PFNC) framework, which leverages historical information to simultaneously compensate for both errors. PFNC is designed to integrate seamlessly with any neighbor sampling technique and significantly lowers memory demands by maintaining only a partial cache of historical embed-dings and gradients. Theoretical analysis demonstrates that PFNC provides a closer approximation to the ideal gradient, enhancing convergence. Extensive experiments across multiple benchmark datasets confirm that PFNC accelerates convergence and improves generalization across diverse neighbor sampling strategies.

| 2023 | Narrow the Input Mismatch in Deep Graph Neural Network DistillationabstractGraph neural networks (GNNs) have been widely studied for modeling graph-structured data. Thanks to the over-parameterization and large receptive field of deep GNNs, "deep" is a promising direction to develop GNNs further and has shown some superior performances. However, the over-stacked structures of deep architectures incur high inference cost in deployment. To compress deep GNNs, we can use knowledge distillation (KD) to make shallow student GNNs mimic teacher GNNs. Existing KD methods in graph domain focus on constructing diverse supervision on embedding or prediction produced by student GNNs, but overlook the gap of the receptive field (i.e., input information) between student and teacher, which brings difficulties to KD. We call this gap "input mismatch". To alleviate this problem, we propose a lightweight stochastic extended module to provide an estimation for missing input information for student GNNs. The estimator models the distribution of missing information. Specifically, we model the missing information as an independent distribution from graph level and a conditional distribution from node level (given the condition of observable input). These two estimates are optimized using a Bayesian methodology and combined into a balanced estimate as additional input to student GNNs. To the best of our knowledge, we are the first to address the "input mismatch" problem in deep GNNs distillation. Experiments on extensive benchmarks demonstrate that our method outperforms existing KD methods for GNNs in distillation performance, which confirms that the estimations are reasonable and effective.
