Exploring Oversmoothing with Householder Matrices

arXiv:2608. 12514v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Deep graph neural networks(GNNs) suffer from oversmoothing- a progressive collapse of node representation towards a low information subspace as network depth increases because the normalized graph propagation operator is repeatedly applied directly to the hidden representations.

Graph Unitary Message Passing

arXiv:2403. 11199v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Unitarity is a useful principle for stabilizing deep neural networks, but in graph neural networks (GNNs) instability is induced not only by learnable parameters but also by the graph propagation operator.

CoRe-GNN: Multilevel Message passing on Coarsened graphs

Training Graph Neural Networks on large graphs is challenged by the memory cost of storing all node representations across layers. We show that several existing scalable approaches can be written as structured modifications of the GNN propagation matrix, providing a unified perspective that exposes their respective limitations.

Graph Learning Should Move Beyond Restrictive Views of Spectral and Message-Passing GNNs

arXiv:2602. 10031v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Graph neural networks (GNNs) are commonly divided into message-passing neural networks (MPNNs) and spectral GNNs, reflecting two largely separate research traditions in machine learning and signal processing.

Unifying Graph Neural Networks Through a Common Layer Equation

arXiv:2608. 16097v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Graph neural networks are commonly described through family-specific equations whose notation obscures shared computations and structural differences.

Backpropagation as a Nilpotent Linear System

Backpropagation is the computational engine of deep learning, yet its mathematical structure is typically treated as a procedural traversal of computational graphs. We present a global operator theory of the \emph{F-adjoint} framework, which reformulates the layerwise backward recursion of an $L$-depth feedforward network into a single linear system $(I-\cB)\Xs=\bG$, where $\bG$ is a source vector.

Persistent Gaussian Perturbations Prevent Oversmoothing in Recurrent Graph Neural Networks

Oversmoothing is a fundamental limitation of deep graph neural networks (GNNs), where repeated message passing causes node representations to become increasingly similar, eventually collapsing toward a low-dimensional subspace. This phenomenon limits the effective depth of message-passing architectures and motivates the search for mechanisms that preserve representation diversity.
