Graph Network as Arbitrary Inductive Bias

src.

The architecture of a neural network imposes some kind of structure that lends itself to particular types of problem (CNN, RNN). Thus, you can think of this as some form of inductive bias. An interesting view of [[graph-neural-networks]] is that essentially these provide arbitrary inductive bias, since the goal is to learn the architecture?
