A Survey on Temporal Graph Representation Learning and Generative Modeling

Abstract: Temporal graphs represent the dynamic relationships among entities and occur in many real life application like social networks, e commerce, communication, road networks, biological systems, and many more. They necessitate research beyond the work related to static graphs in terms of their generative modeling and representation learning. In this survey, we comprehensively review the neural time dependent graph representation learning and generative modeling approaches proposed in recent times for handling temporal graphs. Finally, we identify the weaknesses of existing approaches and discuss the research proposal of our recently published paper TIGGER[24].
