Graph neural networks (GNNs) extend convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to graph-based data. A question that arises is how much performance improvement does the underlying graph structure in the GNN provide over the CNN (that ignores this…

When searching for characteristic subpatterns in potentially noisy graph data, it appears self-evident that having multiple observations would be better than having just one. However, it turns out that the inconsistencies introduced when…
