Even Sparser Graph Transformers

NeurIPS 2024poster

Graph Transformers excel in long-range dependency modeling, but generally require quadratic memory complexity in the number of nodes in an input graph, and hence have trouble scaling to large graphs. Sparse attention variants such as Exphormer can help, but may require high-degree augmentations to t…

Locality-Aware Graph Rewiring in GNNs

ICLR 2024poster

Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) are popular models for machine learning on graphs that typically follow the message-passing paradigm, whereby the feature of a node is updated recursively upon aggregating information over its neighbors. While exchanging messages over the input graph endows GNNs with a s…

Weisfeiler-Leman at the margin: When more expressivity matters

ICML 2024poster

The Weisfeiler--Leman algorithm (1-WL) is a well-studied heuristic for the graph isomorphism problem. Recently, the algorithm has played a prominent role in understanding the expressive power of message-passing graph neural networks (MPNNs) and being effective as a graph kernel. Despite its success,…

Affinity-Aware Graph Networks

NeurIPS 2023poster

Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have emerged as a powerful technique for learning on relational data. Owing to the relatively limited number of message passing steps they perform—and hence a smaller receptive field—there has been significant interest in improving their expressivity by incorporating str…

Exphormer: Sparse Transformers for Graphs

ICML 2023poster

Graph transformers have emerged as a promising architecture for a variety of graph learning and representation tasks. Despite their successes, though, it remains challenging to scale graph transformers to large graphs while maintaining accuracy competitive with message-passing networks. In this pape…

Fast $(1+\varepsilon)$-Approximation Algorithms for Binary Matrix Factorization

ICML 2023poster

We introduce efficient $(1+\varepsilon)$-approximation algorithms for the binary matrix factorization (BMF) problem, where the inputs are a matrix $\mathbf{A}\in\{0,1\}^{n\times d}$, a rank parameter $k>0$, as well as an accuracy parameter $\varepsilon>0$, and the goal is to approximate $\mathbf{A}$…

Scaling up Kernel Ridge Regression via Locality Sensitive Hashing

AISTATS 2020poster

Random binning features, introduced in the seminal paper of Rahimi and Recht ’07, are an efficient method for approximating a kernel matrix using locality sensitive hashing. Random binning features provide a very simple and efficient way to approximate the Laplace kernel but unfortunately do not app…

Random Fourier Features for Kernel Ridge Regression: Approximation Bounds and Statistical Guarantees

ICML 2017poster

Random Fourier features is one of the most popular techniques for scaling up kernel methods, such as kernel ridge regression. However, despite impressive empirical results, the statistical properties of random Fourier features are still not well understood. In this paper we take steps toward filling…
