Accurate predictions in graph deep learning rely on positional encoding mechanisms like graph neural networks and graph transformers.
Limitations of current positional encodings include predefined functions, limited adaptability to complex graphs, and focus on structural information rather than real-world temporal evolution.
Researchers have developed Learnable Spatial-Temporal Positional Encoding (L-STEP) and a temporal link prediction model named L-STEP to address these limitations.
L-STEP demonstrates superior performance on various datasets and benchmarks, proving its effectiveness in temporal link prediction tasks.
