Robustness of XSimGCL and Simple Graph Contrastive Learning to Adversarial Perturbations

Abstract

Abstract: This report synthesises findings from 14 peer-reviewed papers addressing the following research question: What is the robustness of XSimGCL and other simple graph contrastive learning methods to adversarial perturbations in the user-item interaction graph, as measured by the change in NDCG scores. Multilayer neural networks trained with the back-propagation algorithm constitute the best example of a successful gradient based learning technique. Given an appropriate network architecture, gradient-based learning algorithms can be used to synthesize a complex decision. 8 claims were extracted from source literature; 8 were independently verified against retrieved documents. An automated multi-reviewer quality assessment produced a score of 9.2/10. This report is a machine-generated literature synthesis and does not constitute original research.
