Learning Laplacian Positional Encodings for Heterophilous Graphs

Michael Ito, Jiong Zhu, Dexiong Chen +2

In this work, we theoretically demonstrate that current graph positional encodings (PEs) are not beneficial and could potentially hurt performance in tasks involving heterophilous…

On the Impact of Feature Heterophily on Link Prediction with Graph Neural Networks

Jiong Zhu, Gaotang Li, Yao-An Yang +3

Heterophily, or the tendency of connected nodes in networks to have different class labels or dissimilar features, has been identified as challenging for many Graph Neural Network…

On Performance Discrepancies Across Local Homophily Levels in Graph Neural Networks

Donald Loveland, Jiong Zhu, Mark Heimann +3

Graph Neural Network (GNN) research has highlighted a relationship between high homophily (i.e., the tendency of nodes of the same class to connect) and strong predictive performan…

Simplifying Distributed Neural Network Training on Massive Graphs: Randomized Partitions Improve Model Aggregation

Jiong Zhu, Aishwarya Reganti, Edward Huang +4

Distributed training of GNNs enables learning on massive graphs (e.g., social and e-commerce networks) that exceed the storage and computational capacity of a single machine. To re…

How does Heterophily Impact the Robustness of Graph Neural Networks? Theoretical Connections and Practical Implications

Jiong Zhu, Junchen Jin, Donald Loveland +2

We bridge two research directions on graph neural networks (GNNs), by formalizing the relation between heterophily of node labels (i.e., connected nodes tend to have dissimilar lab…
