arXiv:2606.17882v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Bridges between graph neural networks (GNNs) and logical formalisms have been established by fixing architectural choices, such as the types of aggregation, combination, and activation functions. These choices define restricted classes of GNNs for which tight correspondences with logical formalisms can be obtained, by showing that logical formulae can be translated into equivalent GNNs and, conversely, that GNNs can be translated into equivalent formulae. In this paper we take a semantic perspective by establishing the logical expressiveness of c
The rapid advancement and integration of Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) in various AI applications necessitate a deeper theoretical understanding of their capabilities and limitations.
A clearer understanding of GNNs' logical expressiveness can lead to more robust, interpretable, and architecturally optimized AI systems, impacting fields from drug discovery to cybersecurity.
This research contributes to formalizing the relationship between GNN design and logical reasoning, allowing for more principled development of GNN models tailored to specific symbolic or structural inference tasks.
