This paper explores the limitations of message passing in Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) and proposes a novel approach to address these issues. The authors argue that recent graph rewiring techniques, which aim to identify and rewire around bottlenecks to facilitate information propagation, may not be as effective in real-world datasets as previously thought. By analyzing the performance gains of curvature-based rewiring on real-world datasets, they show that the edges selected during the rewiring process do not necessarily oversquash information during message passing. This challenges the theoretical criteria identifying bottlenecks and highlights the importance of hyperparameter sweeps in achieving SOTA accuracies. The study contributes to a deeper understanding of GNN accuracy improvements and provides a new perspective on evaluating these methods.

This paper looks at how Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) work when dealing with big data sets that are not perfectly organized. GNNs are special kinds of artificial intelligence models that can learn from data that is connected in certain ways, like social networks or maps. The problem is that sometimes the model gets stuck and doesn’t learn as well because it’s trying to move information through really narrow parts of the graph (called bottlenecks). Some people have tried to fix this by rewriting the way the model moves information around these bottlenecks. But this paper shows that maybe we shouldn’t be relying on those methods too much, and instead should focus on finding the right combinations of settings for our models.
