A Unifying Relational Perspective on Expressive Lottery Tickets

Lorenz Kummer, Samir Moustafa, Anatol Ehrlich +4

Graph neural networks (GNNs) are widely used, but how parameter sparsity affects the expressivity of relational (RGNNs) and temporal (TGNNs) variants is poorly understood. The Stro…

Semi-Supervised Text-Attributed Graph Distillation

Yurui Lai, Samir Moustafa, Renchi Yang +1

{\em Text-Attributed Graphs} (TAGs) have emerged as an expressive data model for integrating graph topology with rich textual semantics. Existing representation learning methods ov…

Weisfeiler and Leman Go Gambling: Why Expressive Lottery Tickets Win

Lorenz Kummer, Samir Moustafa, Anatol Ehrlich +4

The lottery ticket hypothesis (LTH) is well-studied for convolutional neural networks but has been validated only empirically for graph neural networks (GNNs), for which theoretica…

Attacking Graph Neural Networks with Bit Flips: Weisfeiler and Lehman Go Indifferent

Lorenz Kummer, Samir Moustafa, Nils N. Kriege +1

Prior attacks on graph neural networks have mostly focused on graph poisoning and evasion, neglecting the network's weights and biases. Traditional weight-based fault injection att…

On the Two Sides of Redundancy in Graph Neural Networks

Franka Bause, Samir Moustafa, Johannes Langguth +2

Message passing neural networks iteratively generate node embeddings by aggregating information from neighboring nodes. With increasing depth, information from more distant nodes i…
