On the Edit Path to GNN Decisions

· 0 citations · 30 references

TL;DR

This work-in-progress paper proposes graph edit paths as a controlled tool for probing how GNN predictions respond to structural and attribute-level edits, and develops heuristics for generating edit paths and evaluates standard GNNs along these paths, quantifying their sensitivity to different types of edits.

Random Probing for Structural Self-Interactions in Graph Neural Networks

DIAL, a message-passing layer that gives nodes access to graph structure through the diagonal of graph-derived operators, is introduced, which uses randomized probing to provide nodes with learnable, permutation equivariant access to diagonal entries.

A Comparative Study of Counterfactual Explainers for Graph Neural Networks Enabling Multiple Types of Graph Edit

Counterfactual explanations for graph-structured data seek to determine minimal and realistic modifications required in an input graph to alter a model's prediction to a predefined output. Although counterfactual explainers that support modifying the graph by both adding and removing edges have recently emerged, there...

Topology-aware GNNs under structural perturbations: Empirical robustness across domains

Results support a conditional empirical conclusion: combining structure, topology, and stability-oriented training can improve robustness under specified structural perturbations, with dataset-dependent accuracy–stability trade-offs rather than universal guarantees.

Faithful, Sufficient and Understandable: Rethinking Graph Counterfactual Explanations via Discrete Diffusion Inversion

This work proposes Graph Diffusion Counterfactual Explanation via Inversion (GDCE-I), a discrete denoising diffusion model with a novel discrete inversion scheme that enables distribution-aware edits leveraging the whole domain edit space and qualitatively shows that GDCE-I attains interpretable in-distribution solutio...
