• Abstract: Motivated by applications in chemistry and other sciences, we study the expressive power of message-passing neural networks for geometric graphs, whose node features correspond to 3-dimensional positions. Recent work has shown that such models can separate generic pairs of non-isomorphic geometric graphs, though they may fail to separate some rare and complicated instances. However, these results assume a fully connected graph, where each node possesses complete knowledge of all other nodes. In contrast, often, in application, every node only possesses knowledge of a small number of nearest neighbors. This paper shows that generic pairs of non-isomorphic geometric graphs can be separated by message-passing networks with rotation equivariant features as long as the underlying graph is connected. When only invariant intermediate features are allowed, generic separation is guaranteed for generically globally rigid graphs. We introduce a simple architecture, EGENNET, which achieves our theoretical guarantees and compares favorably with alternative architecture on synthetic and chemical benchmarks.

  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.

  Heterogeneous graphs have multiple node and edge types and are semantically richer than homogeneous graphs. Many graph neural network approaches for heterogeneous graphs use metapaths to capture multi-hop interactions between nodes. We present Simplicial Graph Attention Network (SGAT), a simplicial complex approach to represent such high-order interactions.

  A major issue with arbitrary graphs is the absence of canonical positional information of nodes. We introduce Positional nodes (PE) of nodes, and inject it into the input layer, like in Transformers. We observe a performance increase for molecular datasets, from 2.87% up to 64.14% when considering learnable PE for both GNN classes.

  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.
