Node Classification on Non-Homophilic (Heterophilic) Graphs

There exists a non-trivial set of graphs where graph-aware models underperform their corresponding graph-agnostic models, e.g. SGC and GCN underperform MLP with 1 layer and 2 layers. Although still controversial, people believe the performance degradation results from heterophily, i.e. there exist much more inter-class edges than inner-class edges. This task aims to evaluate models designed for non-homophilic (heterophilic) datasets.
