GNNs struggle to approximate sparse matrix factorizations

A new research paper demonstrates that standard message-passing Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) are fundamentally unable to approximate sparse triangular factorizations. The study shows that even advanced architectures like Graph Attention Networks and Graph Transformers struggle with these tasks, achieving low similarity scores in key cases. The findings suggest that novel architectural designs beyond current message-passing paradigms are required for GNNs to effectively tackle scientific computing problems such as matrix factorization.

    Message-Passing GNNs Fail to Approximate Sparse Triangular Factorizations

    arXiv:2502.01397v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have been proposed as a tool for learning sparse matrix preconditioners, which are key components in accelerating linear solvers. We present theoretical and empirical evidence that message-pass…
