Pre-registration (frozen 9 Nov 2026): replication of the ACM over-smoothing advantage (arXiv 2407.19231) for GCN and SGC on Cora and Citeseer, as released and with every method's learning rate, weight decay and dropout tuned equally
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: Frozen protocol, decision code, job design, harness, planted-effect table and kernel for a private pre-registered replication, deposited before any confirmatory run. Clause: the mean relative accuracy improvement of ACM over the strongest of None, BatchNorm, PairNorm and DropEdge across ten backbone-dataset-depth cells (published 20.75%), in an as-released arm and an equal-tuning arm. Verdicts are Replicated / Did not replicate / Inconclusive under protocol X.
