Revisiting Neighborhood Aggregation in Graph Neural Networks for Node Classification using Statistical Signal Processing

원문 초록

We delve into the issue of node classification within graphs, specifically reevaluating the concept of neighborhood aggregation, which is a fundamental component in graph neural networks (GNNs). Our analysis reveals conceptual flaws within certain benchmark GNN models when operating under the assumption of edge-independent node labels, a condition commonly observed in benchmark graphs employed for node classification. Approaching neighborhood aggregation from a statistical signal processing perspective, our investigation provides novel insights which may be used to design more efficient GNN models.
