Abstract
Graph transformation that predicts graph transition from one mode to another is an important and common problem. Despite much progress in developing advanced graph transformation techniques in recent years, the fundamental assumption typically required in machine-learning models that the testing and training data preserve the same distribution does not always hold. As a result, domain generalization graph transformation that predicts graphs not available in the training data is under-explored, with multiple key challenges to be addressed including (1) the extreme space complexity when training on all input-output mode combinations, (2) difference of graph topologies between the input and the output modes, and (3) how to generalize the model to (unseen) target domains that are not in the training data. To fill the gap, we propose a multi-input, multi-output, hypernetwork-based graph…

1. The introduction part seems to be incomplete. In the third paragraph, the three challenges of the problem are emphasized. The fourth paragraph should focus on writing the core idea of solving these challenges in this work. However, the authors only wrote about their implementation, so I did not understand the innovative ideas of this work from a high-level perspective. 2. The paper does not adding ablation studies to understand the contribution of each component of MultiHyperGNN. 3. Whi

1. It is unclear about the practical use case of the proposed model, and hard to understand the problem setups. Can you elaborate on the potential real-world applications in which you proposed domain transformation problem can be applied? 2. It would be beneficial for the authors to explain why traditional methods require O(3^N) to solve the problem. Additionally, is it possible that the traditional method, despite its time-consuming nature, performs the best and can serve as a baseline? 3.
+ The multi-input, multi-output hypernetwork-based framework is a novel contribution, particularly in reducing training complexity and addressing domain generalization. + Successfully reducing space complexity from exponential to constant during training is a significant advancement, making the model more practical for large-scale applications. + The ability to generalize to unseen target domains is a crucial advancement in graph transformation tasks.
- While space complexity is addressed, the overall computational complexity and potential overfitting risks due to the complex model structure are not discussed in detail. - The use of hypernetworks might introduce sensitivity to hyperparameters, but this aspect isn’t thoroughly explored. - The extent to which the model can generalize to radically different unseen domains is not clearly defined. - It’s unclear how well the model scales to extremely large graphs or how transferable it is across s
