The paper introduces SEMGNN, an end‑to‑end self‑explainable multi‑label graph neural network that simultaneously classifies nodes and identifies edges contributing to each predicted label. Unlike post‑hoc explainers, SEMGNN jointly learns a predictor and a sparse edge‑mask explainer, leveraging label‑label correlations to improve classification and generate distinct, coherent explanations for each label. Experiments on synthetic and real‑world networks in social, entertainment, and life‑science domains demonstrate competitive predictive performance and more faithful, compact label‑conditioned explanations.

arXiv:2606. 10249v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We examine whether graph neural network (GNN) design rules generalize across benchmark families by studying aggregator selection (sum, mean, max) on 24 node-classification datasets spanning citation, heterophilic, LINKX Facebook-100, co-purchase, and co-authorship graphs.
arXiv:2606. 05756v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have demonstrated remarkable performance across a range of applications involving graph-structured data, particularly in high-stakes domains.
The paper presents a comparative analysis of six state‑of‑the‑art counterfactual explainers for graph neural networks, focusing on methods that can both add and remove edges to alter model predictions. It evaluates these explainers across diverse real‑world and synthetic datasets, covering binary and multi‑class graph and node classification tasks, using a range of quantitative and qualitative metrics. The study highlights the trade‑offs between explanation size, coverage, and quality, aiming to pinpoint each method’s strengths and weaknesses to inform future research.

Text-Attributed Graphs (TAGs) combine textual semantics with graph structure and are central to many graph learning tasks. However, existing fusion methods often treat text and structure as separate inputs in a shallow, one-way pipeline, which limits deep interaction between modalities and weakens performance under sparse connectivity or cross-graph generalisation.
