| Abstract: |
We explore different strategies to integrate prior domain knowledge into the design of graph neural networks (GNN). Our study is supported by a use-case of estimating the potential energy of chemical systems (molecules and crystals) represented as graphs. We integrate two elements of domain knowledge into the design of the GNN to constrain and regularise its learning, towards higher accuracy and generalisation. First, knowledge on the existence of different types of relations/graph edges (e.g. chemical bonds in our case study) between nodes of the graph is used to modulate their interactions. We formulate and compare two strategies, namely specialised message production and specialised update of internal states. Second, knowledge of the relevance of some physical quantities is used to constrain the learnt features towards a higher physical relevance using a simple multi-task learning (MTL) paradigm. We explore the potential of MTL to better capture the underlying mechanisms behind the studied phenomenon. We demonstrate the general applicability of our two knowledge integrations by applying them to three architectures that rely on different mechanisms to propagate information between nodes and to update node states. Our implementations are made publicly available. To support these experiments, we release three new datasets of out-of-equilibrium molecules and crystals of various complexities. |
