The study improves GCN performance on friendship-based social networks by simulating and augmenting datasets.
problem GCNs' limitations in friendship-based social networks, especially dependency between node neighbourhood order and layer.
method Developed a Python library to simulate social networks with ground truth labels and features. Introduced sDNA as latent variables for nodes.
result Four new GCN variants significantly outperform the original model on 27 out of 30 simulated datasets.
