• Abstract: We address two fundamental challenges in Graph Neural Networks (GNNs): (1) the lack of theoretical support for invariance learning, a critical property in image processing, and (2) the absence of a unified model capable of excelling on both homophilic and heterophilic graph datasets. To tackle these issues, we establish and prove scale invariance in graphs, extending this key property to graph learning, and validate it through experiments on real-world datasets. Leveraging directed multi-scaled graphs and an adaptive self-loop strategy, we propose ScaleNet, a unified network architecture that achieves state-of-the-art performance across four homophilic and two heterophilic benchmark datasets. Furthermore, we show that through graph transformation based on scale invariance, uniform weights can replace computationally expensive edge weights in digraph inception networks while maintaining or improving performance. For another popular GNN approach to digraphs, we demonstrate the equivalence between Hermitian Laplacian methods and GraphSAGE with incidence normalization. ScaleNet bridges the gap between homophilic and heterophilic graph learning, offering both theoretical insights into scale invariance and practical advancements in unified graph learning. Our implementation is publicly available at https://github.com/Qin87/ScaleNet/tree/Aug23.

  In node classification with Graph Neural Networks (GNNs), it is actually the ego-graph of the center node that is classified. We propose the concept of scaled ego-graphs'', replacing undirected single-edges with scaled-edges'', which are ordered sequences of multiple directed edges. Our scale-invariance-based graph learning outperforms inception models derived from random walks by being simpler, faster, and more accurate.

  Graph neural networks (GNNs) have achieved impressive performance when testing and training graph data come from identical distribution. Existing GNNs lack out-of-distribution generalization abilities so that their performance substantially degrades when there exist distribution shifts between testing and training graph data. We propose an out-of-distribution generalized graph neural network (OOD-GNN) for achieving satisfactory performance on unseen testing graphs that have different distributions with training graphs.
