Graph Neural Networks (GNNs), which are nowadays the benchmark approach in
graph representation learning, have been shown to be vulnerable to adversarial
attacks, raising concerns about their real-world applicability. While existing
defense techniques primarily concentrate on the training phase of GNNs,
involving adjustments to message passing architectures or pre-processing
methods, there is a noticeable gap in methods focusing on increasing robustness
during inference. In this context, this study introduces RobustCRF, a post-hoc
approach aiming to enhance the robustness of GNNs at the inference stage. Our
proposed method, founded on statistical relational learning using a Conditional
Random Field, is model-agnostic and does not require prior knowledge about the
underlying model architecture. We validate the efficacy of this approach across
various models, leveraging benchmark node classification datasets.
