Autoencoders have been successfully used for graph embedding, and many variants have been proven to effectively express graph data and conduct graph analysis in low-dimensional space. However, previous methods ignore the structure and properties of the reconstructed graph, or they do not consider the potential data distribution in the graph, which typically leads to unsatisfactory graph embedding performance. In this paper, we propose the adversarial attention variational graph autoencoder (AAVGA), which is a novel framework that incorporates attention networks into the encoder part and uses an adversarial mechanism in embedded training. The encoder involves node neighbors in the representation of nodes by stacking attention layers, which can further improve the graph embedding performance of the encoder. At the same time, due to the adversarial mechanism, the distribution of the potential features that are generated by the encoder are closer to the actual distribution of the original graph data; thus, the decoder generates a graph that is closer to the original graph. Experimental results prove that AAVGA performs competitively with state-of-the-art popular graph encoders on three citation datasets.
