Big graph, little compute? In our #NeurIPS2025 paper we propose geometry-aware edge-contraction-based pooling methods for GNNs. Our methods preserve graph structure, make interpretable pooling choices, and ensure robust performance at downstream tasks. 🧵1/n
An overview of our edge pooling method.

#MachineLearning loves data. #Topology loves shape. Let's bring them together! 👉The Euler Characteristic Transform (ECT) bridges both worlds, as I outline in a recent article in the Notices of the @amermathsoc.bsky.social Engage! 🧵1/n
An overview of the Euler Characteristic Transform, illustrated for a single Euler Characteristic Curve, i.e., the calculation of Euler characteristics along a single direction.

Join us on a (mathematical) journey to a shire - oops, HIGHER - standard and principled evaluation schema for our benchmark datasets. This is the reward of the RINGS framework. 📒 Blog: aidos.group/blog/rings/ 📃 Paper: doi.org/10.48550/arX... 👩‍💻 Code: github.com/aidos-lab/ri...

✨Excited to be at ICML 2025 to share our new evaluation framework for graph-learning datasets, work with @dataspider.bsky.social, @jeremy-wayland.bsky.social, @pseudomanifold.topology.rocks Curious about who shall pass, and who shall not?🤔 Enjoy nods to LoTR?🧝‍♀️ Check out our blog and paper below!

New blog post on overcoming academic impostor syndrome. This arose from great discussions during our group retreat, and I decided to make it publicly available in the hope of providing some utility to #academia. #AcademicSky #AcademicChatter bastian.rieck.me/blog/2025/im...

Our AIDOS Lab website has been fully revamped, thanks to a massive team effort as part of a very fun retreat in #Bern: aidos.group Check out our research directions and some of the things we have been up to these days! #Academia #MachineLearning

We hope SCOTT can prove helpful in shepherding your flock of graphs through curvature filtrations.🐑 Big thanks to @jeremy-wayland.bsky.social for his incredible mentorship throughout. Special thanks also to our Scotland consultants: Mairi McClean and @limbeckkat.bsky.social.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 ‘Til next time! 🧵7/n

It is also easy to choose your own SCOTT-ish adventure.🚀 Tailor your KILT🪡 with customizable curvature measures: 📏Forman & Balanced Forman 📏Ollivier-Ricci 📏Resistance And vectorize by either: 🏔️ outlining a persistence landscape, or 📸 snapping a persistence image 🧵6/n

The meat of it: 👩‍🍳 curvature computations with a KILT (Krvature-Informed Links and Topology) object 👩‍🍳 persistent homology via edge filtrations 👩‍🍳 vectorization of persistence diagrams 👩‍🍳 distances between vectorizations …all baked into a digestible SCOTT-ish haggis.🍽️ 🧵5/n

By combining discrete curvature on graphs with persistent homology, SCOTT provides expressive descriptors of graph sets that are: ✨Robust ✨Stable ✨Expressive ✨Compatible with Statistical Testing …all made easier - and breezier than a day in the Scottish Highlands.💨 🧵4/n
