Model Architecture Comparison

🏗️ GAT Architecture (Enhanced)

  • Multi-layer GAT: 3 hierarchical GAT layers with residual connections
  • Advanced Attention: 3 cross-attention layers for feature fusion
  • Global Residual: Skip connections across all layers
  • Multi-block Prediction: 3 prediction blocks with residual
  • Feature Integration: Concatenation of all intermediate features
  • Complexity: High computational cost, better performance

🏛️ Pure Hierarchical (Base)

  • Single GCN: One hierarchical GCN layer
  • Simple Attention: Single cross-attention layer
  • Basic Residual: Standard residual connections
  • Single Prediction: One prediction head
  • Direct Processing: Sequential feature processing
  • Complexity: Lower computational cost, good baseline
