Residual Connections and Normalization Can Provably Prevent Oversmoothing in GNNs

ICLR 2025poster

Residual connections and normalization layers have become standard design choices for graph neural networks (GNNs), and were proposed as solutions to the mitigate the oversmoothing problem in GNNs. However, how exactly these methods help alleviate the oversmoothing problem from a theoretical perspec…

A Wasserstein Graph Distance Based on Distributions of Probabilistic Node Embeddings

ICASSP 2024accepted

Distance measures between graphs are important primitives for a variety of learning tasks. In this work, we describe an unsupervised, optimal transport based approach to define a distance between graphs. Our idea is to derive representations of graphs as Gaussian mixture models, fitted to distributi…

An Optimization-based Approach To Node Role Discovery in Networks: Approximating Equitable Partitions

NeurIPS 2023poster

Similar to community detection, partitioning the nodes of a complex network according to their structural roles aims to identify fundamental building blocks of a network, which can be used, e.g., to find simplified descriptions of the network connectivity, to derive reduced order models for dynamica…
