The dual-channel graph convolutional neural networks based on hybrid features jointly model the different features of networks, so that the features can learn each other and improve the performance of various subsequent machine learning tasks. However, current dual-channel graph convolutional neural networks are limited by the number of convolution layers, which hinders the performance improvement of the models. Graph convolutional neural networks superimpose multi-layer graph convolution operations, which would occur in smoothing phenomena, resulting in performance decreasing as the increasing number of graph convolutional layers. Inspired by the success of residual connections on convolutional neural networks, this paper applies residual connections to dual-channel graph convolutional neural networks, and increases the depth of dual-channel graph convolutional neural networks. Thus, a dual-channel deep graph convolutional neural network (D2GCN) is proposed, which can effectively avoid over-smoothing and improve model performance. D2GCN is verified on CiteSeer, DBLP, and SDBLP datasets, the results show that D2GCN performs better than the comparison algorithms used in node classification tasks.
