Incorporating Retrieval-based Causal Learning with Information Bottlenecks for Interpretable Graph Neural Networks

Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have gained considerable traction for their capability to effectively process topological data, yet their interpretability remains a critical concern. Current interpretation methods are dominated by post-hoc explanations to provide a transparent and intuitive understanding of GNNs. However, they have limited performance in interpreting complicated subgraphs and can't utilize the explanation to advance GNN predictions. On the other hand, transparent GNN models are proposed to capture critical subgraphs. While such methods could improve GNN predictions, they usually …
