Nowadays, Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) following the Message Passing paradigm become the dominant way to learn on graphic data. Models in this paradigm have to spend extra space to look up adjacent nodes with adjacency matrices and extra time to aggregate multiple messages from adjacent nodes. To address this issue, we develop a method called LinkDist that distils self-knowledge from connected node pairs into a Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) without the need to aggregate messages. Experiment with 8 real-world datasets shows the MLP derived from LinkDist can predict the label of a node without knowing its adjacencies but achieve comparable accuracy against GNNs in the contexts of semi- and full-supervised node classification. Moreover, LinkDist benefits from its Non-Message Passing paradigm that we can also distil self-knowledge from arbitrarily sampled node pairs in a contrastive way to further boost the performance of LinkDist.

  1. Graph Neural Networks Need Cluster-Normalize-Activate Modules

    cs.LG 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A Cluster-Normalize-Activate module replaces plain activations in GNNs, limiting oversmoothing and improving accuracy with fewer parameters.

  2. Revisiting the Necessity of Graph Learning and Common Graph Benchmarks

    cs.LG 2024-12 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Tuned feature-only MLPs nearly match graph neural networks on five common graph benchmarks, suggesting those benchmarks measure feature quality more than graph learning.
