Graph neural networks for datasets with heterophily

Abstract

Techniques are provided for training graph neural networks with heterophily datasets and generating predictions for such datasets with heterophily. A computing device receives a dataset including a graph data structure and processes the dataset using a graph neural network. The graph neural network defines prior belief vectors respectively corresponding to nodes of the graph data structure, executes a compatibility-guided propagation from the set of prior belief vectors and using a compatibility matrix. The graph neural network predicts predicting a class label for a node of the graph data structure based on the compatibility-guided propagations and a characteristic of at least one node within a neighborhood of the node. The computing device outputs the graph data structure where it is usable by a software tool for modifying an operation of a computing environment.
