The graph edit distance (GED) is a widely used graph dissimilarity measure that quantifies the minimum cost of the edit operations required to transform one graph into another. Computing it, however, involves solving the associated NP-hard graph matching problem. Indeed, exact solvers already strugg…
The weighted Euclidean norm $||x||_w$ of a vector $x\in \mathbb{R}^d$ with weights $w\in \mathbb{R}^d$ is the Euclidean norm where the contribution of each dimension is scaled by a given weight. Approaches to dimensionality reduction that satisfy the Johnson–Lindenstrauss (JL) lemma can be easily a…
Message passing graph neural networks (GNNs) are known to have limited expressive power in their ability to distinguish some non-isomorphic graphs. Because of this, it is well known that they are unable to detect or count arbitrary graph substructures (i.e., solving the subgraph isomorphism problem)…
We consider the problem of computing persistent homology (PH) for large-scale Euclidean point cloud data, aimed at downstream machine learning tasks, where the exponential growth of the most widely-used Vietoris-Rips complex imposes serious computational limitations. Although more scalable alternati…
Graph neural networks (GNNs) employing message passing for graph classification are inherently limited by the expressive power of the Weisfeiler-Leman (WL) test for graph isomorphism. Node individualization schemes, which assign unique identifiers to nodes (e.g., by adding random noise to features),…
Attention-based graph neural networks (GNNs), such as graph attention networks (GATs), have become popular neural architectures for processing graph-structured data and learning node embeddings. Despite their empirical success, these models rely on labeled data and the theoretical properties of thes…
