Learn When and Where to Connect: Adaptive Virtual Nodes for Dynamic Message Passing on Graphs

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.
