Pelletreau-Duris Tom

PhD candidate in graph machine learning at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam under the supervision of Michael Cochez and Jieying Cheng.

Officially advancing explainability of neuro-symbolic AI. Tactically working on mechanistic interpretability for graph ml. Personally trying to bridge disciplinaries I love, networking philosophy of mind, social sciences, AI and neurosciences through the lens of graph theory and XAI. Systematizing rhizomes.

Do Graph Neural Network States Contain Graph Properties?

Tom Pelletreau-Duris, Ruud van Bakel, Michael Cochez — Proceedings of The 19th International Conference on Neurosymbolic Learning and Reasoning ·

Presents a model-agnostic explainability pipeline that uses diagnostic classifiers to probe graph neural network embeddings for structural graph properties, clarifying what information their hidden states retain across architectures and datasets.
