arXiv:2410.09737v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: A popular way to improve the expressive power of graph neural networks (GNNs) is to use Laplacian eigenvectors as additional node features, since they can serve both as structural identifiers and global coordinates of nodes. Properly handling the orthogonal group symmetry among eigenvectors is crucial for the stability and generalizability of Laplacian eigenvector augmented GNNs. Previous studies have shown that using a naive $O(p)$-group invariant encoder for each $p$-dimensional eigenspace often leads to expressivity loss and numerical inst
The paper addresses a known limitation in current Graph Neural Network (GNN) architectures regarding the stability and expressiveness of Laplacian eigenvector augmentation, which is a core component for improving GNN performance.
Improved methods for handling Laplacian eigenvectors can lead to more stable and powerful GNNs, accelerating advances in AI applications that rely on graph structures, from drug discovery to social network analysis.
This research provides a theoretical and practical path to enhancing GNNs, potentially leading to more robust and higher-performing models capable of learning complex graph representations without sacrificing expressivity.
