A Simple Proof of the Universality of Invariant/Equivariant Graph Neural Networks (1910.03802v1)

Abstract: We present a simple proof for the universality of invariant and equivariant tensorized graph neural networks. Our approach considers a restricted intermediate hypothetical model named Graph Homomorphism Model to reach the universality conclusions including an open case for higher-order output. We find that our proposed technique not only leads to simple proofs of the universality properties but also gives a natural explanation for the tensorization of the previously studied models. Finally, we give some remarks on the connection between our model and the continuous representation of graphs.
