Adaptive Width Neural Networks

ICLR 2026poster

For almost 70 years, researchers have typically selected the width of neural networks’ layers either manually or through automated hyperparameter tuning methods such as grid search and, more recently, neural architecture search. This paper challenges the status quo by introducing an easy-to-use tech…

LRIM: a Physics-Based Benchmark for Provably Evaluating Long-Range Capabilities in Graph Learning

ICLR 2026poster

Accurately modeling long-range dependencies in graph-structured data is critical for many real-world applications. However, incorporating long-range interactions beyond the nodes' immediate neighborhood in a $\textit{scalable}$ manner remains an open challenge for graph machine learning models. Exis…

Oversmoothing, "Oversquashing'', Heterophily, Long-Range, and more: Demystifying Common Beliefs in Graph Machine Learning

ICLR 2026poster

After a renaissance phase in which researchers revisited the message-passing paradigm through the lens of deep learning, the graph machine learning community shifted its attention towards a deeper and practical understanding of message-passing's benefits and limitations. In this paper, we notice how…

Adaptive Message Passing: A General Framework to Mitigate Oversmoothing, Oversquashing, and Underreaching

ICML 2025poster

Long-range interactions are essential for the correct description of complex systems in many scientific fields. The price to pay for including them in the calculations, however, is a dramatic increase in the overall computational costs. Recently, deep graph networks have been employed as efficient,…

What Did I Do Wrong? Quantifying LLMs’ Sensitivity and Consistency to Prompt Engineering

NAACL 2025long

Large Language Models (LLMs) changed the way we design and interact with software systems. Their ability to process and extract information from text has drastically improved productivity in a number of routine tasks. Developers that want to include these models in their software stack, however, fac…

Higher-Rank Irreducible Cartesian Tensors for Equivariant Message Passing

NeurIPS 2024poster

The ability to perform fast and accurate atomistic simulations is crucial for advancing the chemical sciences. By learning from high-quality data, machine-learned interatomic potentials achieve accuracy on par with ab initio and first-principles methods at a fraction of their computational cost. The…

Tractable Probabilistic Graph Representation Learning with Graph-Induced Sum-Product Networks

ICLR 2024poster

We introduce Graph-Induced Sum-Product Networks (GSPNs), a new probabilistic framework for graph representation learning that can tractably answer probabilistic queries. Inspired by the computational trees induced by vertices in the context of message-passing neural networks, we build hierarchies of…

On Class Distributions Induced by Nearest Neighbor Graphs for Node Classification of Tabular Data

NeurIPS 2023poster

Researchers have used nearest neighbor graphs to transform classical machine learning problems on tabular data into node classification tasks to solve with graph representation learning methods. Such artificial structures often reflect the homophily assumption, believed to be a key factor in the per…

The Infinite Contextual Graph Markov Model

ICML 2022spotlight

The Contextual Graph Markov Model (CGMM) is a deep, unsupervised, and probabilistic model for graphs that is trained incrementally on a layer-by-layer basis. As with most Deep Graph Networks, an inherent limitation is the need to perform an extensive model selection to choose the proper size of each…
