GNN Explanations that do not Explain and How to find Them

ICLR 2026poster

Explanations provided by Self-explainable Graph Neural Networks (SE-GNNs) are fundamental for understanding the model's inner workings and for identifying potential misuse of sensitive attributes. Although recent works have highlighted that these explanations can be suboptimal and potentially mislea…

Beyond Topological Self-Explainable GNNs: A Formal Explainability Perspective

ICML 2025poster

Self-Explainable Graph Neural Networks (SE-GNNs) are popular explainable-by-design GNNs, but their explanations' properties and limitations are not well understood. Our first contribution fills this gap by formalizing the explanations extracted by some popular SE-GNNs, referred to as Minimal Explana…

On Local Limits of Sparse Random Graphs: Color Convergence and the Refined Configuration Model

NeurIPS 2025poster

Local convergence has emerged as a fundamental tool for analyzing sparse random graph models. We introduce a new notion of local convergence, _color convergence_, based on the Weisfeiler–Leman algorithm. Color convergence fully characterizes the class of random graphs that are well-behaved in the li…

Probably Approximately Global Robustness Certification

ICML 2025poster

We propose and investigate probabilistic guarantees for the adversarial robustness of classification algorithms. While traditional formal verification approaches for robustness are intractable and sampling-based approaches do not provide formal guarantees, our approach is able to efficiently certify…

Deep Symbolic Learning: Discovering Symbols and Rules from Perceptions

IJCAI 2023poster

Neuro-Symbolic (NeSy) integration combines symbolic reasoning with Neural Networks (NNs) for tasks requiring perception and reasoning. Most NeSy systems rely on continuous relaxation of logical knowledge, and no discrete decisions are made within the model pipeline. Furthermore, these methods assume…

Weighted Model Counting in FO2 with Cardinality Constraints and Counting Quantifiers: A Closed Form Formula

AAAI 2022technical

Weighted First-Order Model Counting (WFOMC) computes the weighted sum of the models of a first-order logic theory on a given finite domain. First-Order Logic theories that admit polynomial-time WFOMC w.r.t domain cardinality are called domain liftable. We introduce the concept of lifted interpretati…
