• Abstract: This extended abstract describes a framework for analyzing the expressiveness, learning, and (structural) generalization of hypergraph neural networks (HyperGNNs). Specifically, we focus on how HyperGNNs can learn from finite datasets and generalize structurally to graph reasoning problems of arbitrary input sizes. Our first contribution is a fine-grained analysis of the expressiveness of HyperGNNs, that is, the set of functions that they can realize. Our result is a hierarchy of problems they can solve, defined in terms of various hyperparameters such as depths and edge arities. Next, we analyze the learning properties of these neural networks, especially focusing on how they can be trained on a finite set of small graphs and generalize to larger graphs, which we term structural generalization. Our theoretical results are further supported by the empirical results.

  Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have become the standard approach for learning and reasoning over relational data. This paper explores the computational limitations of GNNs through the lens of circuit complexity. Specifically, we analyze the circuit complexity of common GNN architectures and prove that under constraints of constant-depth layers, linear or sublinear embedding sizes, and precision, GNNs cannot solve key problems such as graph connectivity and graph isomorphism.

  We take a manifold perspective to establish the statistical generalization theory of GNNs on graphs sampled from a manifold in the spectral domain. We prove that the generalization bounds of GNNs decrease linearly with the size of the graphs in the logarithmic scale, and increase linearly with the spectral continuity constants of the filter functions.
