Overcoming Shortcut Learning in Graph Neural Networks through Active Explanation Guidance
Taraneh Younesian, Steve Azzolin, Antonio Longa +3
Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) can solve prediction tasks by unintentionally exploiting shortcuts---that is, edges, nodes, and features that correlate with but are not causal for the…
GNN Explanations that do not Explain and How to find Them
Steve Azzolin, Stefano Teso, Bruno Lepri +2
Explanations provided by Self-explainable Graph Neural Networks (SE-GNNs) are fundamental for understanding the model's inner workings and for identifying potential misuse of sensi…
Beyond Topological Self-Explainable GNNs: A Formal Explainability Perspective
Steve Azzolin, Sagar Malhotra, Andrea Passerini +1
Self-Explainable Graph Neural Networks (SE-GNNs) are popular explainable-by-design GNNs, but their explanations' properties and limitations are not well understood. Our first contr…
Reconsidering Faithfulness in Regular, Self-Explainable and Domain Invariant GNNs
Steve Azzolin, Antonio Longa, Stefano Teso +1
As Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) become more pervasive, it becomes paramount to build reliable tools for explaining their predictions. A core desideratum is that explanations are \t…
Explaining the Explainers in Graph Neural Networks: a Comparative Study
Antonio Longa, Steve Azzolin, Gabriele Santin +4
Following a fast initial breakthrough in graph based learning, Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have reached a widespread application in many science and engineering fields, prompting…
