Description

Title: How powerful are graph neural networks, and what can they reason about?

Abstract: We study the theoretical and algorithmic aspects of Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) - an effective framework for learning with graphs. In part (i), we characterize the representational power of GNNs and build a maximally powerful GNN with Graph Isomorphism Network(GIN) and Jumping Knowledge Network (JK-Net). In part (ii), we study the generalization of GNNs, with a focus on abstract reasoning tasks. Our theory is based on an algorithmic alignment framework, and draws connections with over-parameterized NN theory. We show GNNs well align with dynamic programming algorithms, and thus, can solve a broad range of reasoning problems.
