Self-Explainable Multi-Label Graph Neural Network for Correlated Evidence Attribution

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.

When Design Rules Break: Benchmark Composition Determines Whether Label Informativeness Predicts GNN Aggregator Choice

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.

Rethinking Message Passing as Retrieval for Text-Attributed Graph Learning

The paper reinterprets graph neural networks (GNNs) as retrieval-augmented models, where each layer uses an MLP on a node representation and a permutation‑invariant summary of retrieved graph context instead of traditional message passing. It introduces RTA, a lightweight MLP‑based framework that replaces structural message passing with label‑aware retrieval and propagation, and provides theoretical links to softmax‑attention message passing and robustness to mis‑retrieved outliers. Experiments on text‑attributed graph benchmarks demonstrate that RTA matches or surpasses strong GNN and graph LLM baselines while improving efficiency and robustness.
