The paper explores the limitations of graph neural networks (GNNs) on link prediction tasks due to the long-tailed distribution of nodes. The study finds that GNNs’ predictive accuracy is not strongly correlated with node degree, but rather with the number of common neighbors between node pairs. This long-tailed problem affects tail node pairs, which make up a significant portion of the dataset and achieve poorer performance. To address this issue, the authors propose a Long-Tailed Link Prediction (LTLP) framework that enhances the performance of tail node pairs by increasing common neighbors. The LTLP framework consists of two modules: one supplements high-quality edges for tail node pairs, and another enforces representational alignment between head and tail node pairs within the same category.

Link prediction is a key task in graph neural networks (GNNs) that helps understand relationships between nodes. But did you know that GNNs can struggle with certain types of nodes called “tail” nodes? These nodes have fewer connections to other nodes, making it harder for GNNs to predict links correctly. Researchers found that this problem is not just limited to node degree, but also affects the number of common neighbors between nodes. To fix this issue, scientists developed a new framework called LTLP (Long-Tailed Link Prediction) that helps improve the performance of tail nodes by increasing their connections.
