IMP-HGAE is a novel framework designed to improve target node embeddings by leveraging internal node information along meta-paths in heterogeneous graphs.
This approach addresses the limitation of existing models that only utilize information from nodes at the ends of meta-paths.
IMPA-HGAE has shown superior performance on heterogeneous datasets and introduces masking strategies to enhance generative SSL models on heterogeneous graph data.
The paper also discusses interpretability of the method and potential future directions for generative self-supervised learning in heterogeneous graphs.
