Graph Convolutional Networks (GCNs)
Generate node embeddings based on local network neighborhoods
Nodes have embeddings at each layer, repeating combine messages
from their neighbor using neural networks
3. 3
Message Computation
Intuition: Each node will create a message, which will be sent to other nodes later
Example: A Linear layer
Multiply node features with weight matrix
Message function:

edge-biconnectivity and vertex-biconnectivity
An illustration of edge-biconnectivity and vertex-biconnectivity.
Cut vertices/edges are outlined in bold red.
Gray nodes in (b)/(c) are edge/vertex-biconnected components, respectively.

Expressive power of different GNN
expressive power of different GNN models for various biconnectivity problems.

INVESTIGATING KNOWN GNN ARCHITECTURES VIA BICONNECTIVITY
Graphs in the first row have cut vertices (outlined in bold red) and some also
have cut edges (denoted as red lines), while graphs in the second row do not
have any cut vertex or cut edge.

GENERALIZED DISTANCE WEISFEILER-LEHMAN
TEST
Corollary 4.3.
Practical implementation:
GD-WL can be easily implemented using a Transformer-like architecture by
injecting distance information into Multi-head Attention

CONCLUSION
investigate the expressive power of GNNs via the perspective of graph
biconnectivity.
strong theoretical insights into the power and limits of existing popular GNNs.
We then introduce the principled GD-WL framework that is fully expressive for
all biconnectivity metrics.
design the Graphormer-GD architecture that is provably powerful while
enjoying practical efficiency and parallelizability.
Experiments on both synthetic and real-world datasets demonstrate the
effectiveness of Graphormer-GD.
