SR-CGCNN: Shared Recurrent Convolution in Crystal Graph Neural Networks for Materials Property Prediction
Tying convolutional weights across recurrent steps in crystal graph networks lets a three-step model nearly match a three-layer model's accuracy on formation energy and band gap while using only 34.5 percent of the parameters.

Record completeness
Claims
A three-step SR-CGCNN approaches the accuracy of a standard three-layer CGCNN while using only 34.5% of its trainable convolutional parameters, with formation-energy MAE changing from 0.0945 to 0.0986 eV atom^{-1} and band-gap MAE from 0.4346 to 0.4503 eV.
The assumption that keeping graph construction, pooling, and prediction head identical produces a fair head-to-head comparison between stacked and recurrent message passing; any difference in optimization dynamics or effective receptive field could still favor one architecture.
SR-CGCNN applies shared weights across recurrent steps in crystal graph convolutions, matching three-layer CGCNN accuracy on Materials Project data with 34.5% of the parameters.
