arXiv:2606.01660v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Pre-propagation graph neural networks (PPGNNs) push all graph-dependent computation into a preprocessing step and train only on the resulting dense hop features, which makes them highly scalable. A puzzle in this regime is that more complex hop aggregators do not reliably outperform simpler ones: on many benchmarks, a plain MLP-based aggregator matches or beats hop-attention variants. We revisit this behavior from a graph-filter perspective. Over a precomputed diffusion basis, existing PPGNNs differ mainly in how filter coefficients are shared ac
