The study introduces a self-supervised method for learning representations of temporal networks, which are complex data structures that emerge in various systems. The goal is to create expressive representations that encode the structural connectivity and temporal evolution of these networks. The proposed recurrent message-passing neural network architecture balances computational complexity with precise modeling. The method uses a contrastive training objective combining link prediction, graph reconstruction, and contrastive predictive coding losses. Experimental results on Enron, COLAB, and Facebook datasets show superior performance compared to existing models.

The study explores ways to better understand complex networks that change over time. These networks are important in many fields like science and engineering. To work with these networks, we need to find a way to capture their structure and how they change over time. The researchers developed a new method for doing this. They used special computer models called recurrent message-passing neural networks to learn about the networks. This allowed them to balance two important factors: being able to process the data quickly and accurately modeling the changes in the network. The method was tested on three different datasets and performed better than other methods.
