Abstract

Graph convolutional networks leverage both graph structures and features on nodes and edges for improved learning performance in comparison with classical machine learning approaches. Spiking neuromorphic computers natively implement network-like computation and have been shown to be successful at implementing graph learning without features. Incorporating graph features brings the challenge of efficient feature representation and balancing the contribution of topology and features in learning. In this work, we present our design of a simulated network of spiking neurons to perform semi-supervised learning on graph data using both the graph structure and the node features. We explore various design choices, present preliminary results, and discuss the opportunities for using neuromorphic computers for this task in the future.
