Researchers have introduced a new benchmarking methodology for graph neural networks (GNNs) centered on the graph alignment problem. This approach frames graph alignment, a task that involves matching two unlabeled graphs to maximize edge overlap, as a self-supervised learning problem. The proposed methods generate datasets of varying difficulty to effectively rank GNN architectures, revealing that anisotropic models outperform isotropic ones on structure-only tasks. Furthermore, the learned node embeddings from this task can serve as positional encodings for transformers in graph regression or reconstruct graph structures with high accuracy, with an open-source package provided for reproducibility.
