Hypergraph Neural Architecture Search

Abstract In recent years, Hypergraph Neural Networks (HGNNs) have achieved considerable success by manually designing architectures, which are capable of extracting effective patterns with high-order interactions from non-Euclidean data. However, such mechanism is extremely inefficient, demanding tremendous human efforts to tune diverse model parameters. In this paper, we propose a novel Hypergraph Neural Architecture Search (HyperNAS) to automatically design the optimal HGNNs. The proposed model constructs a search space suitable for hypergraphs, and derives hypergraph architectures through differentiable search strategies. A hypergraph structure-aware distance criterion is introduced as a guideline for obtaining an optimal hypergraph architecture via the leave-one-out method. Experimental results for node classification on benchmark Cora, Citeseer, Pubmed citation networks and hypergraph datasets show that HyperNAS outperforms existing HGNNs models and graph NAS methods.
