This paper explores the capabilities of Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) in detecting communities within graphs by optimizing modularity, a graph partitioning quality metric. Unlike traditional methods, which rely on ground-truth comparisons for hyperparameter tuning and model selection, this work shows that GNNs can be trained to optimize modularity without such references. The authors demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach on real-world datasets, achieving comparable performance to traditional methods. They also investigate the limitations of using modularity as a proxy for ground-truth performance through synthetic experiments, highlighting the importance of balancing information duality in attributed graphs. This research has significant implications for the development of GNNs and their applications in various fields.

This paper is about using special kinds of artificial intelligence called Graph Neural Networks to find groups or “communities” within complex networks. Traditionally, these networks are trained by comparing them to real answers. But this research shows that it’s possible to train them just by optimizing a special metric called modularity. This approach works well and can even predict how well the network will do in real-world situations. The researchers also created fake examples to test their ideas and found that GNNs have limitations when dealing with conflicting information. Overall, this research helps us better understand these powerful networks and how they can be used in various fields.
