The paper introduces a new way to evaluate materials graph neural networks (GNNs) by measuring how many trainable parameter‑space directions are needed to achieve good performance. Using random‑subspace intrinsic‑dimension analysis, the authors train CGCNN, ALIGNN, and DimeNet++ on six prediction tasks and plot recovery curves that separate final accuracy from the dimensional demand required to reach it. The study finds that different tasks and architectures vary in how sensitive they are to dimensional restriction, revealing insights that final error metrics alone miss.

The study shows that electronic structure datasets used for machine learning contain significant redundancy due to low intrinsic dimensionality. Random pruning and a coverage-based strategy can reduce dataset size by up to two orders of magnitude while preserving chemical accuracy and generalizability, cutting training time by a factor of three or more. The essential information lies on a low‑dimensional, non‑linear manifold, suggesting that large datasets may be largely overlapping and that minimal, representative datasets could suffice for accurate predictions.
