• Title: Counting Substructures with Higher-Order Graph Neural Networks: Possibility and Impossibility Results
• Authors: Behrooz Tahmasebi, Stefanie Jegelka
• Abstract summary: We study tradeoffs of computational cost and expressive power of Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) We show that a new model can count subgraphs of size $k$, and thereby overcomes a known limitation of low-order GNNs. In several cases, the proposed algorithm can greatly reduce computational complexity compared to the existing higher-order $k$-GNNs.

• Abstract: While massage passing based Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have become increasingly popular architectures for learning with graphs, recent works have revealed important shortcomings in their expressive power. In response, several higher-order GNNs have been proposed, which substantially increase the expressive power, but at a large computational cost. Motivated by this gap, we introduce and analyze a new recursive pooling technique of local neighborhoods that allows different tradeoffs of computational cost and expressive power. First, we show that this model can count subgraphs of size $k$, and thereby overcomes a known limitation of low-order GNNs. Second, we prove that, in several cases, the proposed algorithm can greatly reduce computational complexity compared to the existing higher-order $k$-GNN and Local Relational Pooling (LRP) networks. We also provide a (near) matching information-theoretic lower bound for graph representations that can provably count subgraphs, and discuss time complexity lower bounds as well.

  Graph neural networks (GNNs) have revolutionized the field of machine learning on non-Euclidean data such as graphs and networks. We propose a concatenation-based graph convolution mechanism that injectively updates node representations. We also design a novel graph pooling module, called WL-SortPool, to learn important subgraph patterns in a deep-learning manner.

Such effectivity sacrifices the efficiency of GNNs by enumerating all possible subgraphs. We propose Magnetic Graph Neural Network (MAG-GNN), a reinforcement learning (RL) boosted GNN, to solve the problem.

  Graph neural networks (GNNs) can learn from graph-structured data and learn the representation of nodes through aggregating neighborhood information. In this paper, we evaluate the expressive power of GNNs from the perspective of subgraph aggregation. We propose a sampling-based node-level residual module (SNR) that can achieve a more flexible utilization of different hops of subgraph aggregation.

  Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) are limited in their expressive power, struggle with long-range interactions and lack a principled way to model higher-order structures. We extend recent theoretical results on SCs to regular Cell Complexes, topological objects that flexibly subsume SCs and graphs. We show that this generalisation provides a powerful set of graph lifting'' transformations, each leading to a unique message passing procedure.
