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.

Higher-Order Positional Encodings for Graph Representation Learning

The paper introduces higher-order positional encodings that enrich graph representations by incorporating topological information from lifted incidence structures, without altering existing graph learning backbones. It theoretically shows that these encodings can mix graph Laplacian frequencies beyond what scalar spectral filters achieve, and demonstrates their effectiveness on Graph Transformers for datasets like ZINC and synthetic benchmarks. The approach bridges graph positional encodings and topological deep learning, enabling standard models to exploit higher-order interactions.

Learning Spectral-Like Mesh-Free Discretisations

The paper introduces Spectral-like Neural Discretisation (SpeND), a mesh‑free method that learns stencil weights via a neural network to approximate the modal response of a spectral operator across a specified band of wavenumbers. By projecting the network output onto the space of polynomial‑consistent weights, SpeND ensures exact consistency while minimizing dispersion and dissipation errors in a self‑supervised, physics‑agnostic manner. Experiments on disordered 2‑D node sets demonstrate that the learned fourth‑order operator matches the exact spectral response over a wider band than traditional LABFM or structured‑grid finite differences, and retains fourth‑order convergence upon refinement.
