Node regression on synthetic graphs, predicting every node’s shortest-path distance from a marked source. Uses synthetic topology plus task-specific source indicators or random node features. Evaluated by MSE.

Dataset details

Task

Single Source Shortest Path prediction on synthetic graphs (node-level distances). The primary catalog metric is MSE.

Data

The release has 7,040 synthetic graphs with 25–35 nodes sampled from multiple graph generators: 5,120 train, 640 validation, and 1,280 test graphs.

Features

Synthetic graphs provide task-specific structural inputs such as a designated source. Targets are numeric node quantities computed by the reference algorithm; positional encodings or extra structural features are model additions.

Splits and evaluation

The fixed split is 5,120/640/1,280 graphs. The paper selects models by validation MSE and reports mean log10(MSE) over 20 runs; lower is better.

Quirks and pitfalls

Targets are deterministic functions of generated topology, so generator overlap and size range determine difficulty. Random splits test interpolation; claims about algorithmic generalization require held-out sizes or graph families.
