New algorithms improve GNN explainability by reducing walk search complexity

Researchers have developed new polynomial-time algorithms to address the exponential computational complexity of identifying relevant walks in Graph Neural Networks (GNNs). This advancement significantly improves the applicability of GNN-LRP, a method for explaining GNNs by analyzing information flows through walks. The proposed algorithms, based on the max-product method, enable exact and approximate identification of top-K relevant walks, demonstrating effectiveness across various benchmarks including epidemiology, molecular, and natural language tasks.
