How can we make graph neural networks more expressive?

We approach this via hybrid modal logics. As it turns out, the logical expressiveness of many GNNs out there reduces to that of the most common graph isomorphism solvers.

Logical Expressiveness of Graph Neural Networks with Hierarchical Node Individualization
We propose and study Hierarchical Ego Graph Neural Networks (HEGNNs), an expressive extension of graph neural networks (GNNs) with hierarchical node individualization, inspired by the Individualizatio...

Theorem Proving and Machine Learning in the Age of LLMs —2025 was a remarkable event with stimulating people.

My main takeaway is that to solve frontier math problems arxiv.org/abs/2408.15332

we need ML for intermediate goal setting and abstraction, grounded in formal verification.
What makes math problems hard for reinforcement learning: a case study
Using a long-standing conjecture from combinatorial group theory, we explore, from multiple perspectives, the challenges of finding rare instances carrying disproportionately high rewards. Based on le...

Paper out; A step towards efficient tensor-network simulation of noisy quantum circuits.

Our method (1) allows for simulation under generic noise, (2) works in the low-noise regime, and (3) retains tensor network scaling, enabling simulations of large numbers of qubits.
