Graph Neural Networks with Random Features Achieve Universality

Researchers have established a new universality result for message-passing graph neural networks (GNNs) that incorporate random node features. This work specifically focuses on Permutation-Equivariant Neural Networks (PENNs), a broad category of GNNs that includes many popular architectures. The findings demonstrate that PENNs, when augmented with partially random node features, can effectively approximate any measurable permutation-invariant or permutation-equivariant function on directed graphs of a fixed size, provided they have multidimensional node and edge features. Additionally, the study provides bounds on approximation rates for continuously differentiable functions, linking the complexity of the PENN's feedforward components to the accuracy of the approximation.
