Before revision:  We benchmark our model by showing that it outperforms recent graph pooling layers on molecular graph understanding and prediction tasks.
After revision:  We benchmark our model by showing that it outperforms recent graph pooling layers on molecular graph prediction and understanding tasks and show that it outperforms recent GNNs. Interestingly, LaPool also remains competitive on non-molecular tasks. Both quantitative and qualitative assessments are done to demonstrate LaPool's improved interpretability and prediction tasks.
