arXiv:2606.00757v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) suffer from overfitting and over-squashing of long-range information. Stochastic graph augmentations (e.g., edge deletion) regularize training against overfitting but can introduce train-inference misalignment and do not improve over-squashing. In contrast, rewiring methods improve connectivity to mitigate over-squashing, but are not designed to regularize training. We propose Random Add-Drop Edge (RADE), a stochastic graph augmentation method that jointly drops and adds edges to address both overfitting and over-squa
This paper represents continued academic effort to improve the efficiency and robustness of Graph Neural Networks (GNNs), a foundational component in many AI applications, addressing known limitations like overfitting and over-squashing.
Improved GNN training techniques can lead to more accurate and reliable AI models, especially in fields like drug discovery, social network analysis, and recommendation systems, which rely heavily on graph data.
The proposed RADE method offers a new regularization technique that aims to concurrently mitigate overfitting and over-squashing in GNNs, potentially enhancing their performance and applicability.
