Original Problem 🤔:

Graph Neural Networks struggle with heterophilous data and long-range dependencies, while Graph Transformers face scalability and noise challenges on large-scale graphs.

-----

Solution in this Paper 💡:

→ GNNMoE introduces a universal model architecture for node classification.

→ It combines fine-grained message-passing operations with a mixture-of-experts mechanism.

→ The architecture incorporates soft and hard gating layers to assign suitable expert networks to each node.

→ Adaptive residual connections and an enhanced Feed Forward Network module improve node representation expressiveness.

→ The model uses stackable PT-Blocks and an enhanced FFN to process node features and adjacency information.

→ GNNMoE employs four message passing experts (PP, PT, TP, TT) to handle different graph features.

→ The enhanced FFN module uses three activation function experts (SwishGLU, GEGLU, REGLU) for further feature encoding.

-----

Key Insights from this Paper:

→ Decoupling message-passing allows flexible combinations of operations for different graph types.

→ Adaptive architecture search mechanism enhances expressiveness and adaptability.

→ Combining GNN and GT strengths creates a more versatile and efficient model.

-----

Results 📊:

→ Outperforms existing methods across homophilous and heterophilous datasets.

→ Maintains consistent performance while stacking PT-block message passing modules.

→ Consumes 2-7 times less training time compared to spatial-domain GNN and GT-based methods.

→ Converges in fewer epochs than traditional GNN methods.
