When Missingness Follows the Graph: Beyond Feature Propagation for Missing Features

Enrico Chialà, Francesco Ferrini, Antonio Longa +4

Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) commonly assume that node features are fully observed, despite missing features being pervasive in real-world applications. By leveraging the dependenc…

Rethinking Epistemic Uncertainty in Node Classification through Information Growth

Emma Meneghini, Francesco Ferrini, Bruno Lepri +2

Epistemic uncertainty should decrease as additional information about the data-generating process (DGP) becomes available to the predictor. Yet, existing graph evidential deep lear…

Hyperbolic Graph Neural Networks Under the Microscope: The Role of Geometry-Task Alignment

Dionisia Naddeo, Jonas Linkerhägner, Nicola Toschi +2

Many complex networks exhibit hierarchical, tree-like structures, making hyperbolic space a natural candidate wherein to learn representations of them. Based on this observation, H…
