LightDiC: A Simple yet Effective Approach for Large-scale Digraph Representation Learning
Summary: LightDiC: scalable digraph convolution via the magnetic Laplacian, moves topology work to offline preprocessing so downstream training is non‑recursive and efficient at large scale. Proves complex-field message passing ≈ proximal gradient descent on Dirichlet energy (digraph denoising), yielding strong expressiveness; matches or beats SOTA with fewer parameters.
