Title

Shaping GNNs with dynamical systems

Abstract

The dynamics of information diffusion in local message passing is a key issue that heavily influences graph representation learning, especially when long-range propagation is needed. We vouch for principled approaches that control and regulate the degree of propagation, conservation and dissipation of information throughout the neural flow. In the talk we explore some approaches stemming from a dynamical systems' view of neural networks for static and temporal graphs, with particular focus on wide applicability of the concepts and on the theoretical guarantees on information conservation.
