Graph representation learning has become a crucial task in machine learning and data mining due to its potential for modeling complex structures such as social networks, chemical compounds, and biological systems. Spiking neural networks (SNNs) have recently emerged as a promising alternative to traditional neural networks for graph learning tasks, benefiting from their ability to efficiently encode and process temporal and spatial information. In this paper, we propose a novel approach that integrates attention mechanisms with SNNs to improve graph representation learning. Specifically, we introduce an attention mechanism for SNN that can selectively focus on important nodes and corresponding features in a graph during the learning process. We evaluate our proposed method on several benchmark datasets and show that it achieves comparable performance compared to existing graph learning techniques.
