Rethinking Message Passing as Retrieval for Text-Attributed Graph Learning

The paper reinterprets graph neural networks (GNNs) as retrieval-augmented models, where each layer uses an MLP on a node representation and a permutation‑invariant summary of retrieved graph context instead of traditional message passing. It introduces RTA, a lightweight MLP‑based framework that replaces structural message passing with label‑aware retrieval and propagation, and provides theoretical links to softmax‑attention message passing and robustness to mis‑retrieved outliers. Experiments on text‑attributed graph benchmarks demonstrate that RTA matches or surpasses strong GNN and graph LLM baselines while improving efficiency and robustness.

DeltaGNN: Graph Neural Network with Information Flow Control

DeltaGNN introduces an information flow control mechanism that uses a new connectivity measure, the information flow score, to mitigate over‑smoothing and over‑squashing in Graph Neural Networks. This approach enables linear computational and memory overhead while effectively capturing both short‑range and long‑range node interactions. Experiments on ten diverse real‑world datasets demonstrate superior performance with limited computational complexity.

FoundAna: A GNN-assisted Foundation Model for Graph Anomaly Detection

FoundAna is a GNN‑assisted foundation model designed for graph anomaly detection across diverse datasets. It combines a GNN component with a transformer encoder enhanced by four positional encodings to capture both local and global structure, using reconstruction errors as anomaly scores. Experiments on nine benchmark datasets from financial, social, and citation networks show that FoundAna consistently outperforms state‑of‑the‑art baselines.

GraphIFE: Rethinking Graph Imbalance Node Classification via Invariant Learning

GraphIFE addresses the class imbalance problem in graph-structured data by tackling a quality inconsistency issue in synthesized nodes. The framework uses graph invariant learning to strengthen embedding space representations and identify invariant features, leading to improved performance on minority classes. Experiments show that GraphIFE consistently outperforms various baselines across multiple datasets.

Particle Competition and Cooperation for Robust Graph Convolutional Network Learning Under Label Noise

Particle Competition and Cooperation for Robust Graph Convolutional Network Learning Under Label Noise proposes PCC+GCN, a hybrid framework that refines labels using Particle Competition and Cooperation before training a GCN. PCC identifies suspicious nodes via particle domination dynamics and decides whether to keep, remove, or reassign their labels, optionally augmenting the graph with k‑nearest‑neighbor edges. Evaluated on ten NoisyGL datasets under various noise types, PCC+GCN achieved the highest average accuracy and rank, outperforming baseline GCN by 1.67 percentage points and proving computationally efficient, especially under instance‑dependent noise.
