The paper introduces the Echo Chamber Effect, a failure mode in Graph Neural Networks where intra-community representations collapse while inter-community separation remains, differing from traditional oversmoothing. It proposes the Echo Chamber Index (ECI) to detect this effect by stratifying pairwise distances by community membership. Building on this analysis, the authors present Community-Aware Split Propagation (CASP), a lightweight plugin that decouples intra- and inter-community aggregation and learns their balance from label structure, improving performance across various GNN backbones in both homophilic and heterophilic settings.

The paper introduces FCom‑DICE, a feature‑aware perturbation method that rewires influential edges and adjusts node features to hide a target community from graph neural network (GNN) inference. It shows that concealment effectiveness depends on boundary connectivity and feature similarity, and that FCom‑DICE outperforms structure‑only DICE on synthetic and real networks such as Facebook, Wikipedia, and Bitcoin Transactions while preserving key structural and feature properties.
SynCo is a synthetic graph generator that lets users control node degree distributions and sub‑community structures, addressing limitations of existing generators that rely on power‑law distributions and lack flexibility. It is evaluated on graph mimicking, hyperparameter tuning, and node clustering, outperforming state‑of‑the‑art methods while preserving original data distributions. SynCo can generate large graphs with up to 2.1 million nodes.
arXiv:2608. 03696v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This work focuses on the problem of learning on temporal graphs, with particular emphasis on the task of clustering: obtaining coarse-grained representations by aggregating information from nodes, edges, and temporal dynamics - a task related to pooling in machine learning on graphs, or community detection in network science.

DeltaGNN introduces an information flow control mechanism that uses a new connectivity measure, the information flow score, to mitigate over‑smoothing and over‑squashing in Graph Neural Networks. This approach enables linear computational and memory overhead while effectively capturing both short‑range and long‑range node interactions. Experiments on ten diverse real‑world datasets demonstrate superior performance with limited computational complexity.
