Link prediction only in subgraph / Training a GNN on various graphs

Hi everyone!

I have a doubt about how I should process my dataset before training a GNN on it.

I have 300 texts and I aim to turn each one of them into a graph. They are tagger with atributes and relations from each text. No problem there.

The things is later i want to predict some relations in new graphs some missings relations.

My doubt here is which is the right (and possible) approach:

  1. should I create a graph from every text? could I train the GNN on all of them in order to later predict on relations on new graphs?

  2. or should I create one big graph in which every text is, lets say, a subgraph (or partiton)? In this case, if i add a new subgraph to the big graph wich contains all graphs from training, could I predict links JUST in this new subgraph?

Are these approches valid? If so, any of them is better than the other?

Thank you so much,

Óscar.

They are equivalent. In both cases you will train a two-stage model, which will first update node representations with a GNN and then score pairs of nodes for link prediction. After you have a trained model, you can apply it to arbitrary new graphs to predict missing links.
