Graph neural network (GNN) has been demonstrated powerful in modeling graph-structured data. However, despite many successful cases of applying GNNs to various graph classification and prediction tasks, whether the graph geometrical information has been fully exploited to enhance the learning performance of GNNs is not yet well understood. This paper introduces a new approach to enhance GNN by discrete graph Ricci curvature. Specifically, the graph Ricci curvature defined on the edges of a graph measures how difficult the information transits on one edge from one node to another based on their neighborhoods. Motivated by the geometric analogy of Ricci curvature in the graph setting, we prove that by inserting the curvature information with different carefully designed transformation function ζ, several known computational issues in GNN such as over-smoothing can be alleviated in our proposed model. Furthermore, we verified that edges with very positive Ricci curvature (i.e., κ_(i,j) ≈1) are preferred to be dropped to enhance model's adaption to heterophily graph and one curvature based graph edge drop algorithm is proposed. Comprehensive experiments show that our curvature-based GNN model outperforms the state-of-the-art baselines in both homophily and heterophily graph datasets, indicating the effectiveness of involving graph geometric information in GNNs.

Code

Repository list and official/mentioned flags are the archive's, frozen 2025-07-28. Reachability, where shown, is from one Syntology probe window (2026-09-16 to 2026-09-18); repositories not probed show nothing. GitHub stars are not tracked.

Code Syntology ran Syntology

5 samples harvested; 3 ran; 0 honoured the contract we drafted; 2 have no recorded run. Read from Syntology's graph 2026-09-25; that is when this build read the record, not when the samples ran.

Licence: 0 of the 5 samples are pointer only, meaning Syntology does not serve that copy's text. This page shows no code text for any sample; each one links to its file in the repository.

Harvested from dshi3553usyd/curvature_enhanced_graph_convolution. “Ran” means the sample executed on a synthesized input. It does not mean the output is correct, and nothing here reproduces the paper's results. “Honoured” and “violated” refer to a contract Syntology drafted from the code itself; “our draft was wrong” and “fixture could not drive it” are failures of Syntology's instrument, not of the code.

Each sample ends with its code_sha256, Syntology's identity for that exact code. An agent fetches the stored sample with Syntology's MCP tool get_code(code_sha256="…") (how to connect); click an identity to copy that call.

Repository labels, per sample. official repository: The archive marks this repository official for the paper. named in the paper: The archive records that the paper mentions this repository; it is not marked official. community (archive-listed): In the archive's code links for this paper, not marked official and not recorded as mentioned in the paper. found in paper text by Syntology: Syntology found this repository in the paper's own text; whether it is the authors' implementation is not asserted. community: Not in the archive's code links for this paper; a community repository Syntology harvested. Samples from a repository marked official are listed first. Licence labels name the repository's licence as recorded at harvest. “Pointer only” means Syntology does not serve that copy's text, for one of four reasons: no licence file was found; the licence was not identified; the licence is recorded as permissive but that copy's record is not marked cleared; or the licence is outside the permissive list Syntology serves text under (MIT, Apache-2.0, BSD and similar). Some licences outside that list permit redistribution, such as WTFPL, and GPL-3.0 under its conditions; they are simply not on the list. Hover a licence label for the reason. File links open the file on GitHub at the default branch, which may have changed since the harvest.
