In this paper, researchers tackle the limitations of Graph Attention Networks (GATs) by introducing GATE, an extension that resolves issues with over-smoothing and task-irrelevant neighborhood aggregation. The proposed approach offers three key benefits: it alleviates over-smoothing, enables higher depth for linear feature transformations, and down-weights connections to unrelated neighbors. These improvements enable GATE to outperform traditional GATs on real-world datasets. To further validate the claims, a synthetic test bed is constructed to analyze a model’s ability to utilize the appropriate amount of neighborhood aggregation.

This paper explores how Graph Attention Networks (GATs) can be improved to better handle different types of data. The main problem with GATs is that they often focus too much on irrelevant information, which makes them less effective. To fix this, researchers created a new version called GATE, which has three important advantages: it helps prevent over-smoothing, allows for more layers to be added, and reduces the importance of connections to unrelated data points. This results in better performance on real-world datasets.
