Generating signals on graphs requires permutation-equivariant models that exhibit stability with respect to relative structural perturbations. While favorable stability properties of Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have been well documented, it is unclear how structural errors propagate through the dynamics of continuous generative flow models that are gaining traction for graph signal generation.
The paper studies the stability of graph-aware continuous‑time generative models that use a graph filter combined with a learned graph neural network. It derives explicit Wasserstein bounds showing how relative graph perturbations affect the generated distributions, and proposes a principled framework for designing stable graph filters that preserve heat‑diffusion smoothing while improving structural stability. Experiments on synthetic and fMRI data demonstrate that these stable filters enhance robustness and match or surpass the generative quality of a heat‑equation baseline.

The paper introduces Variational Bayesian Flow Network (VBFN), a graph generation model that lifts Bayesian updates to a joint Gaussian belief family with structured precisions, enabling coupled node and edge updates in a single fusion step. By constructing sample‑agnostic sparse precisions from a representation‑induced dependency graph, VBFN avoids label leakage while enforcing node‑edge consistency. Experiments on synthetic and molecular graph datasets show that VBFN improves fidelity and diversity over baseline methods.

arXiv:2607. 28185v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Oversmoothing is a fundamental limitation of deep graph neural networks (GNNs), where repeated message passing causes node representations to become increasingly similar, eventually collapsing toward a low-dimensional subspace.
