Cluster Attention for Graph Machine Learning
Quick summary
arXiv:2604.07492v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Message Passing Neural Networks have recently become the most popular approach to graph machine learning tasks; however, their receptive field is limited by the number of message passing layers. To increase the receptive field, Graph Transformers with global attention have been proposed; however, global attention does not take into account the graph topology and thus lacks graph-structure-based inductive biases, which are typically very important for graph machine learning tasks. In this work, we propose an alternative approach: cluster
