Information Flow in Graph Neural Networks: A Clinical Triage Use Case
Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have gained popularity in healthcare and other domains due to their ability to process multi-modal and multi-relational graphs. However, efficient training of GNNs remains challenging, with several open research questions. In this paper, we investigate how the flow of embedding information within GNNs affects the prediction of links in Knowledge Graphs (KGs). Specifically, we propose a mathematical model that decouples the GNN connectivity from the connectivity of the graph data and evaluate the performance of GNNs in a clinical triage use case. Our results demonstrate that incorporating domain knowledge into the GNN connectivity leads to better performance than using the same connectivity as the KG or allowing unconstrained embedding propagation. Moreover, we show that negative edges play a crucial role in achieving good predictions, and that using too many GNN layers can degrade performance.
