Researchers from KAIST and Carnegie Mellon University introduce and tackle the problem of classifying edge-dependent labels for nodes in hypergraphs, where a node's role varies based on the hyperedge it belongs to. They propose WHATsNet, a hypergraph neural network that utilizes within-hyperedge attention and centrality-based positional encoding to achieve superior performance on this task and demonstrate utility in downstream applications like ranking and clustering.

Key insights

  • Edge-dependent node labels represent a distinct and important characteristic of real-world hypergraphs that cannot be adequately captured by existing HGNNs focusing on global node properties.
  • Explicitly modeling the relationships between nodes *within* each hyperedge (via `WithinATT`) is crucial for understanding and predicting a node's context-specific role.
  • Incorporating relative positional information based on a node's centrality *within* a hyperedge (via `WithinOrderPE`) significantly enhances the learning of edge-dependent features.
