Repurposing Unified Topological Signatures for Graph Representation Learning
Quick summary
arXiv:2609.17061v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Message-passing Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) iteratively propagate and aggregate local neighborhood information followed by global readout to learn graph representations. However, their discriminative power is upper-bounded by the Weisfeiler--Lehman (1-WL) graph isomorphism test. This prevents GNNs from distinguishing certain non-isomorphic graphs with identical local neighborhood structures, often leading to similar graph representations. Unified Topological Signatures (UTS) capture compact, multi-scale representation of global graph topology
