Graph neural network depth value determined by Kesten-Stigum ratio

A new paper explores the optimal depth for graph neural networks on sparse graphs, focusing on node classification within the contextual stochastic block model. The research establishes that the network's performance is dictated by the Kesten-Stigum ratio, a measure related to signal attenuation and average degree. Below a critical threshold, increasing depth yields diminishing returns, while above it, performance improves geometrically, albeit with a theoretical floor. AI

    The Value of Depth in Message Passing on Sparse Graphs: A Kesten-Stigum Dichotomy

    arXiv:2607.16676v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: How deep does a graph neural network need to be on a sparse graph? We study its purest statistical form: node classification on the sparse contextual stochastic block model (CSBM) with average degree $\Delta=O(1)$, whose local wea…
