AI 摘要

传统图神经网络(GNN)处理节点特征时,通常假设特征是实数向量,但许多场景下节点特征更适合用概率分布(如高斯分布)表示。直接拼接均值和协方差矩阵会丢失几何与代数结构。研究者提出高斯层神经网络(GSNN),基于细胞层理论推导出新的拉普拉斯算子,保留关键数学性质,并在合成和真实数据上验证了有效性。这项工作为处理不确定性或噪声数据的图学习提供了新思路。

Gaussian Sheaf Neural Networks

Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have become the de facto standard for learning on relational data. While traditional GNNs' message passing is well suited for vector-valued node features, there are cases in which node features are better represented by probability distributions than real vectors. Concretely, when node features are Gaussians, characterized by a mean and a covariance matrix, naively concatenating their parameters into a single vector and applying standard message passing discards the geometric and algebraic structure that governs means and covariances. We propose Gaussian Sheaf Neural Networks (GSNNs), a principled framework that incorporates these inductive biases into graph-based learning. Building on the theory of cellular sheaves, we derive a new Laplacian operator that generalizes the sheaf Laplacian to this setting and preserves its key properties. We complement our theoretical contributions with experiments on synthetic and real-world data that illustrate the practical relevance of GSNNs.
