• Abstract: Graph neural network (GNN) is effective to model graphs for distributed representations of nodes and an entire graph. Recently, research on the expressive power of GNN attracted growing attention. A highly-expressive GNN has the ability to generate discriminative graph representations. However, in the end-to-end training process for a certain graph learning task, a highly-expressive GNN risks generating graph representations overfitting the training data for the target task, while losing information important for the model generalization. In this paper, we propose Distribution Preserving GNN (DP-GNN) - a GNN framework that can improve the generalizability of expressive GNN models by preserving several kinds of distribution information in graph representations and node representations. Besides the generalizability, by applying an expressive GNN backbone, DP-GNN can also have high expressive power. We evaluate the proposed DP-GNN framework on multiple benchmark datasets for graph classification tasks. The experimental results demonstrate that our model achieves state-of-the-art performances.

  We study a new problem, GNN model evaluation, that aims to assess the performance of a specific GNN model trained on labeled and observed graphs. We propose a two-stage GNN model evaluation framework, including (1) DiscGraph set construction and (2) GNNEvaluator training and inference. Under the effective training supervision from the DiscGraph set, GNNEvaluator learns to precisely estimate node classification accuracy of the to-be-evaluated GNN model.

  This paper proposes to maximize the expressivity of GNNs by graph canonization, then the power of such GNNs is studies from the perspective of model stability. A stable GNN will map similar graphs to close graph representations in the vectorial space, and the stability of GNNs is critical to generalize their performance to unseen graphs. A comprehensive set of experiments demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed method.

  We propose a model-agnostic model-level explanation method for different Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) that follow the message passing scheme, GNNInterpreter. GNNInterpreter learns a probabilistic generative graph distribution that produces the most discriminative graph pattern the GNN tries to detect. Compared to existing works, GNNInterpreter is more flexible and computationally efficient in generating explanation graphs with different types of node and edge features.

  We use a random graph generator to investigate how the graph size and structural properties affect the predictive performance of GNNs. We present specific evidence that the average node degree is a key feature in determining whether GNNs can generalize to unseen graphs. We propose a multi- module GNN framework that allows the network to adapt flexibly to new graphs by generalizing a single canonical nonlinear transformation over aggregated inputs.

  Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have achieved great success in graph representation learning. GNNs generate identical representations for graph substructures that may in fact be very different. More powerful GNNs, proposed recently by mimicking higher-order tests, are inefficient as they cannot sparsity of underlying graph structure. We propose Distance Depiction (DE) as a new class of graph representation learning.
