The paper derives statistical guarantees for Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) in link prediction tasks on graphon-generated graphs. It proposes a linear GNN architecture (LG-GNN) that produces consistent estimators for edge probabilities, establishing bounds on mean squared error and detecting high-probability edges. The results hold for both sparse and dense graphs. Furthermore, the paper highlights the shortcomings of classical GCN architecture and verifies findings on real and synthetic datasets.

This paper helps us understand how Graph Neural Networks can accurately predict links between nodes on complex networks. It creates a special type of GNN that does this well and shows why it works better than other versions. The study also looks at what happens when the network is really big or really small, and proves its findings using real-world data.
