Graph convolutional network (GCN) is a new kind of framework which utilizes pre-defined Laplacian matrix to learn graph data effectively. With its powerful nonlinear fitting ability, GCN can produce high-quality node embedding. However, generalized GCN can only handle static graphs, whereas a large number of graphs are dynamic and evolve over time, which limit the application field of GCN. Facing the challenge, GCN with recurrent neural network (e.g., RNN) is naturally to combined to acquire dynamic graph changes through joint training. However, these methods must use the node information during the entire time line and ignore two subtle factors, that is, the influence of nodes change with time and are related to the frequency of events. Therefore, we propose a stable and scalable dynamic GCN method using fine-grained attention mechanism, named FADGC. We use GCN to obtain static node vectors at each timestep and integrate node influence factors with multi-head attention for graph time-series learning. Experiments on multiple datasets show that our approach can better capture the inherent special characteristics of different dynamic graph and achieve higher performance compared with related approaches.
