The proposed paper delves into the representation power of Graph Neural Networks (GNNs), challenging existing theoretical studies that focus on graph isomorphism. The authors argue that these studies neglect the optimization issues involved in GNN learning and provide a limited understanding of the process. They illustrate this gap with examples and experiments, highlighting the importance of considering both representation and optimization when studying GNNs. Furthermore, the paper explores the implicit inductive bias of GNNs in graph classification tasks, demonstrating how message-passing layers tend to search for discriminative subgraphs or nodes depending on global pooling layers used. Empirical verification is provided through experiments on real-world and synthetic datasets.

GNNs are a type of artificial intelligence that helps computers understand the structure of data like social networks or molecules. Scientists have been trying to figure out how well GNNs can represent complex data, but they’re not considering an important part – how the network is trained. This paper says that’s a mistake and shows why it matters. They also discovered that GNNs tend to focus on certain parts of the data that are important for understanding, like small groups or individual nodes. The authors tested their findings on real-world and made-up datasets and found that this bias can be useful when trying to classify complex data.
