Pascal Welke @pascalwelke.bsky.social · 16/07/2025We show that message passing neural networks (MPNNs) are implicitly trained to respect graph functional distances, and introduce the weighted Weisfeiler Leman Labeling Tree (WILT) to identify subgraphs that MPNNs consider functionally important. 010

Pascal Welke @pascalwelke.bsky.social · 11/06/2025Attended my first @netsciconf.bsky.social last week and it was amazing! A highlight was the HONAI satellite that brought together the network science and machine learning communities. ...and who needs NeurIPS mugs if one can have NetSci toilet paper? 010
