Customized Graph Neural Networks
This addresses the need for more tailored graph classification models in machine learning, representing an incremental improvement over unified GNN approaches.
The paper tackles the problem of sub-optimal performance in graph classification due to diverse graph structures by proposing Customized-GNN, a framework that generates sample-specific models for individual graphs, achieving effectiveness across various benchmarks.
Recently, Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have greatly advanced the task of graph classification. Typically, we first build a unified GNN model with graphs in a given training set and then use this unified model to predict labels of all the unseen graphs in the test set. However, graphs in the same dataset often have dramatically distinct structures, which indicates that a unified model may be sub-optimal given an individual graph. Therefore, in this paper, we aim to develop customized graph neural networks for graph classification. Specifically, we propose a novel customized graph neural network framework, i.e., Customized-GNN. Given a graph sample, Customized-GNN can generate a sample-specific model for this graph based on its structure. Meanwhile, the proposed framework is very general that can be applied to numerous existing graph neural network models. Comprehensive experiments on various graph classification benchmarks demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed framework.
