We propose a novel spatial convolution operation to model the key properties of local connectivity and translation invariance, using high-order connection patterns or motifs. We develop a novel deep architecture Motif-CNN that employs an attention model to combine the features extracted from multiple patterns, thus effectively capturing high-order structural and feature information. Our experiments on semi-supervised node classification on real-world social networks and multiple representative heterogeneous graph datasets indicate significant gains of 6-21% over existing graph CNNs and other state-of-the-art techniques.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/1711.05697v4","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/1711.05697v4.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"motif-based-convolutional-neural-network-on","repo_url":"https://github.com/aravindsankar28/Meta-GNN","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"tf","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"classification","task_name":"General Classification"},{"task_slug":"node-classification","task_name":"Node Classification"},{"task_slug":"translation","task_name":"Translation"}],"methods":[{"method_slug":"convolution","method_name":"Convolution"}],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":"https://app.syntology.ai/?focus=1711.05697","mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
