Deep Hypergraph Neural Networks with Tight Framelets

AAAI 2025technical

Hypergraphs provide a flexible framework for modeling high-order (complex) interactions among multiple entities, extending beyond traditional pairwise correlations in graph structures. However, deep hypergraph neural networks (HGNNs) often face the challenge of oversmoothing with increasing depth, s…

Neural Reasoning for Sure Through Constructing Explainable Models

AAAI 2025technical

Neural networks remain black-box systems, unsure about their outputs, and their performance may drop unpredictably in real applications. An open question is how to qualitatively extend neural networks, so that they are sure about their reasoning results, or reasoning-for-sure. Here, we introduce set…

When Hypergraph Meets Heterophily: New Benchmark Datasets and Baseline

AAAI 2025technical

Hypergraph neural networks (HNNs) have shown promise in handling tasks characterized by high-order correlations, achieving notable success across various applications. However, there has been limited focus on heterophilic hypergraph learning (HHL), in contrast to the increasing attention given to gr…

Global Concept-Based Interpretability for Graph Neural Networks via Neuron Analysis

AAAI 2023technical

Graph neural networks (GNNs) are highly effective on a variety of graph-related tasks; however, they lack interpretability and transparency. Current explainability approaches are typically local and treat GNNs as black-boxes. They do not look inside the model, inhibiting human trust in the model and…

Graph classification Gaussian processes via spectral features

UAI 2023poster

Graph classification aims to categorise graphs based on their structure and node attributes. In this work, we propose to tackle this task using tools from graph signal processing by deriving spectral features, which we then use to design two variants of Gaussian process models for graph classificati…

SCOTCH and SODA: A Transformer Video Shadow Detection Framework

CVPR 2023poster

Shadows in videos are difficult to detect because of the large shadow deformation between frames. In this work, we argue that accounting for shadow deformation is essential when designing a video shadow detection method. To this end, we introduce the shadow deformation attention trajectory (SODA), a…

Weight Predictor Network with Feature Selection for Small Sample Tabular Biomedical Data

AAAI 2023technical

Tabular biomedical data is often high-dimensional but with a very small number of samples. Although recent work showed that well-regularised simple neural networks could outperform more sophisticated architectures on tabular data, they are still prone to overfitting on tiny datasets with many potent…

Graph Neural Networks with Adaptive Readouts

NeurIPS 2022accept

An effective aggregation of node features into a graph-level representation via readout functions is an essential step in numerous learning tasks involving graph neural networks. Typically, readouts are simple and non-adaptive functions designed such that the resulting hypothesis space is permutatio…

Robust and Efficient Uncertainty Aware Biosignal Classification via Early Exit Ensembles

ICASSP 2022accepted

Ensembles of deep learning models can be used for estimating predictive uncertainty. Existing ensemble approaches, however, introduce a high computational and memory cost limiting their applicability to real-time biosignal applications (e.g. ECG, EEG). To address these issues, we propose early exit…

Neural Distance Embeddings for Biological Sequences

NeurIPS 2021poster

The development of data-dependent heuristics and representations for biological sequences that reflect their evolutionary distance is critical for large-scale biological research. However, popular machine learning approaches, based on continuous Euclidean spaces, have struggled with the discrete com…

Weisfeiler and Lehman Go Cellular: CW Networks

NeurIPS 2021poster

Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) are limited in their expressive power, struggle with long-range interactions and lack a principled way to model higher-order structures. These problems can be attributed to the strong coupling between the computational graph and the input graph structure. The recently pr…

Path Integral Based Convolution and Pooling for Graph Neural Networks

NeurIPS 2020poster

Graph neural networks (GNNs) extends the functionality of traditional neural networks to graph-structured data. Similar to CNNs, an optimized design of graph convolution and pooling is key to success. Borrowing ideas from physics, we propose a path integral based graph neural networks (PAN) for clas…

Principal Neighbourhood Aggregation for Graph Nets

NeurIPS 2020poster

Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have been shown to be effective models for different predictive tasks on graph-structured data. Recent work on their expressive power has focused on isomorphism tasks and countable feature spaces. We extend this theoretical framework to include continuous features---whic…

Deep Graph Infomax

ICLR 2019poster

We present Deep Graph Infomax (DGI), a general approach for learning node representations within graph-structured data in an unsupervised manner. DGI relies on maximizing mutual information between patch representations and corresponding high-level summaries of graphs---both derived using establishe…

Graph Attention Networks

ICLR 2018poster

We present graph attention networks (GATs), novel neural network architectures that operate on graph-structured data, leveraging masked self-attentional layers to address the shortcomings of prior methods based on graph convolutions or their approximations. By stacking layers in which nodes are able…
