Slides Poster Similar

In this work, we develop quantitative results to the learnability of a two-layers Graph Convolutional Network (GCN). Instead of analyzing GCN under some classes of functions, our approach provides a quantitative gap between a two-layers GCN and a two-layers MLP model. From the graph signal processing perspective, we provide useful insights to some flaws of graph neural networks for vertex classification. We empirically demonstrate a few cases when GCN and other state-of-the-art models cannot learn even when true vertex features are extremely low-dimensional. To demonstrate our theoretical findings and propose a solution to the aforementioned adversarial cases, we build a proof of concept graph neural network model with different filters named Graph Filters Neural Network (gfNN).
