Summary

The HGNN Shield paper proposes a defense framework for Hypergraph Neural Networks against structural attacks that disrupt message propagation. It combines a Hyperedge-Dependent Estimation module, which extends graph connectivity measures to hypergraphs, with a High-Order Shield module that detects, disconnects, and refines adversarial connections before the convolutional layers. Across six hypergraph datasets, the authors report an average performance improvement of 9.33% over other methods against targeted attacks.
