A novel continual learning framework, Perturbed and Sparsified Continual Graph Learning (PSCGL), is proposed for graph data classification, particularly targeting biological datasets. The PSCGL approach addresses catastrophic forgetting by introducing a perturbed sampling strategy to identify critical data points and a motif-based graph sparsification technique to reduce storage needs while maintaining performance. This framework also inherently defends against graph backdoor attacks, which is crucial for applications in sensitive biological contexts. The proposed method demonstrates improved efficiency and robustness on biological datasets.

PSCGL is a new way to help machines learn from graph data, like molecules and their interactions. Right now, these machines get stuck when they need to learn something new after seeing lots of old information. PSCGL helps them remember what they learned before while also learning new things. It does this by finding important parts of the data and simplifying how it’s stored. This makes it more efficient and reliable. PSCGL is especially helpful for sensitive biological applications where accuracy is crucial.
