New diagnostic tool reveals challenges in graph classification benchmarks

Researchers have introduced a new diagnostic tool called graph label alignment to better understand the difficulty of graph classification benchmarks. This method uses two probes, structural label alignment (SLA) and feature label alignment (FLA), to measure how easily labels can be accessed from marginal views of the data. The results show that datasets with low label alignment are particularly challenging for standard graph neural networks and graph transformers, indicating that success in these cases relies on preserving structure-feature correspondences beyond simple pooled representations.

    Graph Label Alignment: A Diagnostic Atlas for Graph Classification

    arXiv:2611.14760v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Graph classification benchmarks vary widely in difficulty: some are solved by simple pooled baselines, while others remain challenging for GNNs and graph transformers. We take a data-centric view and ask whether benchmark success …
