Summary The information propagation mechanism in graph‐structured networks such as social networks is the foundation of network security. The graph convolutional network (GCN) is a powerful approach for semisupervised node classification on graph‐structure data. The vertex features which pass through the graph network are affected by the k‐hop neighborhood vertices. However, current high‐order GCN approaches merged the k‐hop neighborhood using coarse pooling and complicated weight parameters. To reduce the computational complexity and preserve topological of the graph data, with weight sharing mechanism we propose a novel GCN based on a novel higher‐order pooling layer for semisupervised classification. The proposed model and its variants are experimental studied on several large‐scale citation network datasets using semisupervised learning. The experimental results show that the proposed model and its variants have lower computational complexity and achieve the state‐of‐the‐art in the node classification accuracy.
