Semi-supervised node classification involves learning to classify unlabelled nodes given a partially labeled graph. In transductive learning, all unlabelled nodes to be classified are observed during training and in inductive learning, predictions are to be made for nodes not seen at training. In this paper, we focus on both these settings for node classification in attributed graphs, i.e., graphs in which nodes have additional features. State-of-the-art models for node classification on such attributed graphs use differentiable recursive functions. These differentiable recursive functions enable aggregation and filtering of neighborhood information from multiple hops (depths). Despite being powerful, these variants are limited in their ability to combine information from different hops efficiently. In this work, we analyze this limitation of recursive graph functions in terms of their representation capacity to effectively capture multi-hop neighborhood information. Further, we provide a simple fusion component which is mathematically motivated to address this limitation and improve the existing models to explicitly learn the importance of information from different hops. This proposed mechanism is shown to improve over existing methods across 8 popular datasets from different domains. Specifically, our model improves the Graph Convolutional Network (GCN) and a variant of Graph SAGE by a significant margin providing highly competitive state-of-the-art results.
