Dirichlet-to-Neumann Graph Pooling

Replace a large graph submodule by a compact boundary response operator that maps boundary node features to induced boundary fluxes after the interior has been eliminated. Stack these operators recursively to obtain a hierarchical graph neural network whose coarse-level computation preserves long-range effects of discarded vertices more faithfully than average pooling or simple node clustering.

Degree-Corrected Hierarchical Router

Replace a flat MoE or graph-pooling assignment with recursive partitions selected by interaction evidence after removing each item’s expected degree effect. Tokens, nodes, or examples that are frequently active for purely popularity-related reasons should not automatically form an expert or cluster. Recursion stops when a candidate split has nonpositive degree-corrected evidence, producing an adaptive hierarchy rather than a fixed number of equally sized groups.
