• Abstract: Graph neural networks (GNN) represent an emerging line of deep learning models that operate on graph structures. It is becoming more and more popular due to its high accuracy achieved in many graph-related tasks. However, GNN is not as well understood in the system and architecture community as its counterparts such as multi-layer perceptrons and convolutional neural networks. This work tries to introduce the GNN to our community. In contrast to prior work that only presents characterizations of GCNs, our work covers a large portion of the varieties for GNN workloads based on a general GNN description framework. By constructing the models on top of two widely-used libraries, we characterize the GNN computation at inference stage concerning general-purpose and application-specific architectures and hope our work can foster more system and architecture research for GNNs.

  Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have gained popularity in healthcare and other domains due to their ability to process multi-modal and multi-relational graphs. We investigate how the flow of embedding information within GNNs affects the prediction of links in Knowledge Graphs (KGs) Our results demonstrate that incorporating domain knowledge into the GNN connectivity leads to better performance than using the same connectivity as the KG or allowing unconstrained embedding propagation.

  Graph neural networks (GNNs) continue to achieve state-of-the-art performance on many graph learning tasks. We show that the tendency of traditional graph representations to underfit each node's neighborhood causes existing GNNs to generalize poorly. We propose a novel Deep Graph Ensemble (DGE) which captures neighborhood variance by training an ensemble of GNNs on different neighborhood subspaces of the same node.

  Graph Neural Networks (GNN) has demonstrated the superior performance in many challenging applications, including the few-shot learning tasks. Despite its powerful capacity to learn and generalize the model from few samples, GNN usually suffers from severe over-fitting and over-smoothing as the model becomes deep. We propose a novel Attentive GNN to tackle these challenges, by incorporating a triple-attention mechanism.
