In spite of the fundamental role of neural networks in contemporary machine learning research, our understanding of the computational complexity of optimally training neural networks remains incomplete even when dealing with the simplest kinds of activation functions. Indeed, while there has been a number of very recent results that establish ever-tighter lower bounds for the problem under linear and ReLU activation functions, less progress has been made towards the identification of novel polynomial-time tractable network architectures.

arXiv:2606. 03068v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: While Virtual Nodes (VNs) are often utilized in Message Passing Neural Networks (MPNNs) to facilitate effective message passing, existing VN-based methods have limitations, such as constraining all nodes to connect to the same number of VNs, fixing the connections before applying MPNNs, and connecting a node to a VN independently of the other nodes that connect to the same VN.
