Rethinking Multi-Label Node Classification: Do Tuned Classic GNNs Suffice?

ArXi:2605.01403v1 Announce Type: new Multi-label node classification (MLNC) has recently been addressed by increasingly complex label-aware designs that explicitly model node-label interactions and inter-label dependencies. However, it remains unclear whether the advantages of these methods truly stem from their specialized designs, or simply from insufficiently optimized baselines. In this paper, we revisit MLNC from a strong-baseline perspective and investigate whether carefully tuned classic full-graph GNNs can already serve as strong solutions to this task.
