Motivated by the broad applicability of GNNs, we propose the family of so-called RankGNNs, a combination of neural Learning to Rank (LtR) methods and GNNs. RankGNNs are trained with a set of pair-wise preferences between graphs, suggesting that one of them is preferred over the other. One practical application of this problem is drug screening, where an expert wants to find the most promising molecules in a large collection of drug candidates. We empirically demonstrate that our proposed pair-wise RankGNN approach either significantly outperforms or at least matches the ranking performance of the naive point-wise baseline approach, in which the LtR problem is solved via GNN-based graph regression."}],"quality_controlled":"1","series_title":"Lecture Notes in Computer Science","date_updated":"2022-04-11T22:08:12Z","type":"conference","conference":{"name":"24th International Conference on Discovery Science","location":"Halifax, Canada","start_date":"2021-10-11","end_date":"2021-10-13"},"publication":"Proceedings of The 24th International Conference on Discovery Science (DS 2021)","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"volume":12986,"title":"Ranking Structured Objects with Graph Neural Networks","_id":"27381","department":[{"_id":"355"}],"publication_identifier":{"isbn":["9783030889418","9783030889425"],"issn":["0302-9743","1611-3349"]},"user_id":"48192","external_id":{"arxiv":["2104.08869"]},"citation":{"bibtex":"@inproceedings{Damke_Hüllermeier_2021, series={Lecture Notes in Computer Science}, title={Ranking Structured Objects with Graph Neural Networks}, volume={12986}, DOI={<a href=\"https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-88942-5\">10.1007/978-3-030-88942-5</a>}, booktitle={Proceedings of The 24th International Conference on Discovery Science (DS 2021)}, publisher={Springer}, author={Damke, Clemens and Hüllermeier, Eyke}, editor={Soares, Carlos and Torgo, Luis}, year={2021}, pages={166–180}, collection={Lecture Notes in Computer Science} }","chicago":"Damke, Clemens, and Eyke Hüllermeier. “Ranking Structured Objects with Graph Neural Networks.” In <i>Proceedings of The 24th International Conference on Discovery Science (DS 2021)</i>, edited by Carlos Soares and Luis Torgo, 12986:166–80.
