New research unifies relational and temporal GNN expressivity

Researchers have explored the expressivity of sparse graph neural networks (GNNs) within the framework of the Strong Expressive Lottery Ticket Hypothesis (SELTH). The study generalizes this hypothesis to multi-relational and temporal graph domains, introducing the concept of the relational Weisfeiler-Leman (RWL) algorithm. The findings indicate that sufficiently parameterized relational GNNs can contain sparse subnetworks that maintain 1-RWL expressivity, with a derived lower bound on the probability of achieving this through random pruning. The research also demonstrates that common temporal GNNs and cross-graph message passing schemes can be reformulated as RGNNs, inheriting these expressivity guarantees and connecting sparse RGNN expressivity to their optimization behavior.

    A Unifying Relational Perspective on Expressive Lottery Tickets

    Graph neural networks (GNNs) are widely used, but how parameter sparsity affects the expressivity of relational (RGNNs) and temporal (TGNNs) variants is poorly understood. The Strong Expressive Lottery Ticket Hypothesis (SELTH) posits the existence of sparse GNNs that preserve We…
