• Abstract: Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have shown great promise in tasks like node and graph classification, but they often struggle to generalize, particularly to unseen or out-of-distribution (OOD) data. These challenges are exacerbated when training data is limited in size or diversity. To address these issues, we introduce a theoretical framework using Rademacher complexity to compute a regret bound on the generalization error and then characterize the effect of data augmentation. This framework informs the design of GMM-GDA, an efficient graph data augmentation (GDA) algorithm leveraging the capability of Gaussian Mixture Models (GMMs) to approximate any distribution. Our approach not only outperforms existing augmentation techniques in terms of generalization but also offers improved time complexity, making it highly suitable for real-world applications.

  Graph neural networks excel at graph representation learning but struggle with heterophilous data and long-range dependencies. We propose GNNMoE, a universal model architecture for node classification. We show that GNNMoE performs exceptionally well across various types of graph data, effectively alleviating the over-smoothing issue and global noise.

  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.

Both theoretical explanations and experimental results reveal that the proposed BG-Mix and DG-Mix algorithms further enhance model generalization across multiple datasets and models.
