• Abstract: Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) often assume strong homophily for graph classification, seldom considering heterophily, which means connected nodes tend to have different class labels and dissimilar features. In real-world scenarios, graphs may have nodes that exhibit both homophily and heterophily. Failing to generalize to this setting makes many GNNs underperform in graph classification. In this paper, we address this limitation by identifying three effective designs and develop a novel GNN architecture called IHGNN (short for Incorporating Heterophily into Graph Neural Networks). These designs include the combination of integration and separation of the ego- and neighbor-embeddings of nodes, adaptive aggregation of node embeddings from different layers, and differentiation between different node embeddings for constructing the graph-level readout function. We empirically validate IHGNN on various graph datasets and demonstrate that it outperforms the state-of-the-art GNNs for graph classification.

  Homophily and heterophily are intrinsic properties of graphs that describe whether two linked nodes share similar properties. This work identifies three graph features, including the ego node feature, the aggregated node feature, and the graph structure feature, that are essential for graph representation learning. It proposes a new GNN model called OGNN that extracts all three graph features and adaptively fuses them to achieve generalizability across the whole spectrum of homophily.
