EDiS: Edge Disjoint Subgraph Sparsification Framework for Graph Neural Networks

We introduce EDiS (Edge-Disjoint Subgraph sparsification framework), which separates one-time structural extraction from per-epoch graph composition.

Key points

  • Sparse GNN training reduces computation, but deciding which edges to keep can be costly.
  • EDiS decomposes the graph once into cacheable edge-disjoint subgraphs, then recombines them into graphs with edge-budget constraints across epochs and retention ratios without re-extracting structure.
  • We provide a combinatorial analysis of the per-epoch sampler, the composition step that draws a training graph from the cached decomposition.
  • We show that, under the default covering-forest selector, the stored decomposition deterministically preserves high-score cut edges, and we derive a selector-agnostic conditional bound on high-score cut survival in composed training graphs.
