GNNs are useful at least in one case, when your data a set of atoms that define your datum through their interactions, specifically a set that is that is high cardinality (so you can't YOLO it with attention) with some notion of neighb

The whole point of GNNs is that they generalize to arbitrary topologies by explicitly conditioning the idea of "neighbours" on the graph specifying the topology. Graph layout has been tried here https://github.com/

Group theory is just a way to think about what properties a function needs to have under specific actions on the data. If you want to train a speech network that should be peak-amplitude invariant (to make a random example) you can normalis
