Graph neural networks (GNNs) conduct feature learning by taking into account the local structure preservation of the data to produce discriminative features, but need to address the following issues, i.e., 1) the initial graph containing faulty and missing edges often affect feature learning and 2) most GNN methods suffer from the issue of out-of-example since their training processes do not directly generate a prediction model to predict unseen data points. In this work, we propose a reverse GNN model to learn the graph from the intrinsic space of the original data points as well as to investigate a new out-of-sample extension method. As a result, the proposed method can output a high-quality graph to improve the quality of feature learning, while the new method of out-of-sample extension makes our reverse GNN method available for conducting supervised learning and semi-supervised learning. Experimental results on real-world datasets show that our method outputs competitive classification performance, compared to state-of-the-art methods, in terms of semi-supervised node classification, out-of-sample extension, random edge attack, link prediction, and image retrieval.
