New diagnostics for graph models assess structural learning vs. node features

Researchers have introduced a new diagnostic framework for graph foundation models using graph invariants. This approach aims to disentangle the impact of node features from graph structure in benchmark evaluations. The proposed invariant-based models demonstrate competitiveness with, and sometimes superiority over, existing transformer and message-passing baselines across 26 datasets, suggesting that structural proxies can be as effective as trained models for certain tasks.

    Have Graph -- Will Lift? The Case for Higher-Order Benchmarks

    After a somewhat rocky start, geometry and topology have established a foothold in machine learning. Message passing, either on graphs or higher-order complexes, is one of the main drivers of geometric deep learning, and paradigms that were once considered to be firmly in the rea…

    Invariant-Based Diagnostics for Graph Benchmarks

    Progress on graph foundation models is hindered by benchmark practices that conflate the contributions of node features and graph structure, making it hard to tell whether a model actually learns from connectivity, or whether it even needs to. We propose addressing this using gra…
