View-based Explanations for Graph Neural Networks
Summary: GVEX introduces Graph Views for GNN explanations, enabling class-specific, queryable insights. Two-tier views (patterns + induced subgraphs) with Sigma2P-hard optimization yield 1/2-approx explain-and-summarize and 1/4-approx single-pass incremental algorithms, scalable to real data.
