In this paper, researchers tackle the challenges of graph neural networks (GNNs) on heterophilic graphs, where adjacent nodes often have different labels. While GNNs are widely used, their message-passing mechanism can struggle with learnability and expressivity on these types of graphs. The authors focus on link prediction under heterophily, which has significant potential in applications like recommender systems. They draw inspiration from previous work on node classification using physics-inspired GNNs and introduce GRAFF-LP, an extension for link prediction. Evaluation on a recent collection of heterophilic graphs shows that GRAFF-LP outperforms previous methods, with relative AUROC improvements of up to 26.7%.

This paper is about how graph neural networks (GNNs) can be used to predict links between nodes in complex systems like social networks. Currently, GNNs are good at predicting what type of node a given node is, but they struggle when the nodes have different types and are connected to each other. The researchers want to see if GNNs can also predict which nodes will be linked together, which is important for things like recommending friends on social media. They take inspiration from previous work that used physics-based ideas to improve node classification and create a new method called GRAFF-LP that works specifically for link prediction. They test their approach on some real datasets and show it does better than other methods.
