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.

GraphIFE addresses the class imbalance problem in graph-structured data by tackling a quality inconsistency issue in synthesized nodes. The framework uses graph invariant learning to strengthen embedding space representations and identify invariant features, leading to improved performance on minority classes. Experiments show that GraphIFE consistently outperforms various baselines across multiple datasets.
