Skeleton-based action recognition has attracted considerable attention in human action recognition. Recent methods for skeleton-based action recognition employ spatiotemporal graph convolutional networks (GCNs) and have remarkable performance. However, most of them have heavy computational complexity for robust action recognition. To solve this problem, we propose a shuffle graph convolutional network (SGCN) which is a lightweight graph convolutional network using pointwise group convolution rather than pointwise convolution to reduce computational cost. Our SGCN is composed of spatial and temporal GCN. The spatial shuffle GCN contains pointwise group convolution and part shuffle module which enhances local and global information between correlated joints. In addition, the temporal shuffle GCN contains depthwise convolution to maintain a large receptive field. Our model achieves comparable performance with lowest computational cost and exceeds the performance of baseline at 0.3% and 1.2% on NTU RGB+D and NTU RGB+D 120 datasets, respectively.

This paper proposes the design of a neural network structure search model using graph convolutional neural networks. Deep learning has a problem of not being able to verify whether the designed model has a structure with optimized performance due to the nature of learning as a black box. The neural network structure search model is composed of a recurrent neural network that creates a model and a convolutional neural network that is the generated network. Conventional neural network structure search models use recurrent neural networks, but in this paper, we propose GC-NAS, which uses graph convolutional neural networks instead of recurrent neural networks to create convolutional neural network models. The proposed GC-NAS uses the Layer Extraction Block to explore depth, and the Hyper Parameter Prediction Block to explore spatial and temporal information (hyper parameters) based on depth information in parallel. Therefore, since the depth information is reflected, the search area is wider, and the purpose of the search area of the model is clear by conducting a parallel search with depth information, so it is judged to be superior in theoretical structure compared to GC-NAS. GC-NAS is expected to solve the problem of the high-dimensional time axis and the range of spatial search of recurrent neural networks in the existing neural network structure search model through the graph convolutional neural network block and graph generation algorithm. In addition, we hope that the GC-NAS proposed in this paper will serve as an opportunity for active research on the application of graph convolutional neural networks to neural network structure search.

Explainable artificial intelligence is a method that explains how a complex model (e.g., a deep neural network) yields its output from a given input. Recently, graph-type data have been widely used in various fields, and diverse graph neural networks (GNNs) have been developed for graph-type data. However, methods to explain the behavior of GNNs have not been studied much, and only a limited understanding of GNNs is currently available. Therefore, in this paper, we propose an explanation method for node classification using graph convolutional networks (GCNs), which is a representative type of GNN. The proposed method finds out which features of each node have the greatest influence on the classification of that node using GCN. The proposed method identifies influential features by backtracking the layers of the GCN from the output layer to the input layer using the gradients. The experimental results on both synthetic and real datasets demonstrate that the proposed explanation method accurately identifies the features of each node that have the greatest influence on its classification.

As the number of thin filers in Korea surpasses 12 million, there is a growing interest in enhancing the accuracy of assessing their credit default risk to generate additional revenue. Specifically, researchers are actively pursuing the development of default prediction models using machine learning and deep learning algorithms, in contrast to traditional statistical default prediction methods, which struggle to capture nonlinearity. Among these efforts, Graph Neural Network (GNN) architecture is noteworthy for predicting default in situations with limited data on thin filers. This is due to their ability to incorporate network information between borrowers alongside conventional credit-related data. However, prior research employing graph neural networks has faced limitations in effectively handling diverse categorical variables present in credit information. In this study, we introduce the Transformer embedded Graph Convolutional Network (TeGCN), which aims to address these limitations and enable effective default prediction for thin filers. TeGCN combines the TabTransformer, capable of extracting contextual information from categorical variables, with the Graph Convolutional Network, which captures network information between borrowers. Our TeGCN model surpasses the baseline model's performance across both the general borrower dataset and the thin filer dataset. Specially, our model performs outstanding results in thin filer default prediction. This study achieves high default prediction accuracy by a model structure tailored to characteristics of credit information containing numerous categorical variables, especially in the context of thin filers with limited data. Our study can contribute to resolving the financial exclusion issues faced by thin filers and facilitate additional revenue within the financial industry.

Research on how to embed knowledge in large-scale Linked Data and apply neural network models for entity matching is relatively scarce. The most fundamental problem with this is that different labels lead to lexical heterogeneity. In this paper, we propose an extended GCN (Graph Convolutional Network) model that combines re-align structure to solve this lexical heterogeneity problem. The proposed model improved the performance by 53% and 40%, respectively, compared to the existing embedded-based MTransE and BootEA models, and improved the performance by 5.1% compared to the GCN-based RDGCN model.

The proposed algorithm segments spectrograms into image patches and represents graphs through connections between adjacent image patches. Subsequently, Graph Convolutional Network (GCN) is trained using the represented graphs to classify signals. In experiments with publicly available underwater acoustic data, the proposed algorithm represents the line frequency features of spectrograms in graph form, achieving an impressive classification accuracy of 92.50 %. This result demonstrates a 8.15 % higher classification accuracy compared to conventional Convolutional Neural Network (CNN).

Most of the existing machine reading research has used Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) and Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) algorithms as networks. Among them, RNN was slow in training, and Question Answering Network (QANet) was announced to improve training speed. QANet is a model composed of CNN and self-attention. CNN extracts semantic and syntactic information well from the local corpus, but there is a limit to extracting the corresponding information from the global corpus. Graph Convolutional Networks (GCN) extracts semantic and syntactic information relatively well from the global corpus. In this paper, to take advantage of this strength of GCN, we propose I-QANet, which changed the CNN of QANet to GCN. The proposed model performed 1.2 times faster than the baseline in the Stanford Question Answering Dataset (SQuAD) dataset and showed 0.2% higher performance in Exact Match (EM) and 0.7% higher in F1. Furthermore, in the Korean Question Answering Dataset (KorQuAD) dataset consisting only of Korean, the learning time was 1.1 times faster than the baseline, and the EM and F1 performance were also 0.9% and 0.7% higher, respectively.

Aiming Graph convolutional networks (GCNs) have achieved outstanding performances on skeleton-based action recognition. However, several problems remain in existing GCN-based methods, and the problem of low recognition rate caused by single input data information has not been effectively solved. In this article, we propose a Dual-stream fusion method that combines video data and skeleton data. The two networks respectively identify skeleton data and video data and fuse the probabilities of the two outputs to achieve the effect of information fusion. Experiments on two large dataset, Kinetics and NTU-RGBC+D Human Action Dataset, illustrate that our proposed method achieves state-of-the-art. Compared with the traditional method, the recognition accuracy is improved better.

Predicting human mobility has always been an important task in Location-based Social Network. Previous efforts fail to capture spatial dependence effectively, mainly reflected in weakening the location topology information. In this paper, we propose a neural network-based method which can capture spatial-temporal dependence to predict the next location of a person. Specifically, we involve a graph convolutional network (GCN) based on a seq2seq framework to capture the location topology information and temporal dependence, respectively. The encoder of the seq2seq framework first generates the hidden state and cell state of the historical trajectories. The GCN is then used to generate graph embeddings of the location topology graph. Finally, we predict future trajectories by aggregated temporal dependence and graph embeddings in the decoder. For evaluation, we leverage two real-world datasets, Foursquare and Gowalla. The experimental results demonstrate that our model has a better performance than the compared models.

This paper proposes a system that can detect the data leakage pattern using a convolutional neural network based on defining the behaviors of leaking data. In this case, the leakage detection scenario of data leakage is composed of the patterns of occurrence of security logs by administration and related patterns between the security logs that are analyzed by association relationship analysis. This proposed system then detects whether the data is leaked through the convolutional neural network using an insider malicious behavior graph. Since each graph is drawn according to the leakage detection scenario of a data leakage, the system can identify the criminal insider along with the source of malicious behavior according to the results of the convolutional neural network. The results of the performance experiment using a virtual scenario show that even if a new malicious pattern that has not been previously defined is inputted into the data leakage detection system, it is possible to determine whether the data has been leaked. In addition, as compared with other data leakage detection systems, it can be seen that the proposed system is able to detect data leakage more flexibly.
