The proposed Graph Selective States Focused Attention Networks (GSANs) aim to overcome the limitations of traditional graph neural networks (GNNs), particularly in deep networks, by introducing multi-head masked self-attention (MHMSA) and selective state space modeling (S3M) layers. These innovations enable GSANs to dynamically emphasize crucial node connections, adjust node states in changing contexts, and improve predictions without requiring primary knowledge of the graph structure. The paper presents comparative experiments on benchmark datasets, including Cora, Citeseer, Pubmed network citation, and protein-protein-interaction datasets, showcasing improved classification accuracy by 1.56%, 8.94%, 0.37%, and 1.54% on F1-score respectively.

GSANs are a new type of neural networks designed for graph-structured data. They help solve problems that traditional GNNs have with scalability and losing important node information. This is because GSANs use special layers called multi-head masked self-attention (MHMSA) and selective state space modeling (S3M). These layers allow GSANs to focus on the most important parts of a graph and adjust how they think about nodes as the graph changes. The paper compares GSANs to other methods using popular datasets, showing that GSANs can do better.
