arXiv:2604. 17324v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Global self-attention drives modern graph transformers, yet the softmax at its core imposes a structural constraint rarely examined directly: every attention row is non-negative and sums to one, so each per-head output is a mass-conserving convex combination of value vectors.

arXiv:2606. 03712v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Graph Language Models (GLMs) have become a promising direction for adapting Large Language Models (LLMs) to graph learning tasks.

arXiv:2607. 02603v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The stable coloring of the Weisfeiler-Leman (1-WL) test is a cornerstone of Graph Neural Networks because it provides an upper bound to the expressive power of message-passing architectures.

arXiv:2312. 06576v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Graph Transformers (GTs) facilitate the comprehension of complex relationships on graph-structured data by leveraging self-attention of the possible pairs of nodes.

arXiv:2510. 04567v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) are powerful tools for processing relational data but often struggle to generalize to unseen graphs, giving rise to the development of Graph Foundational Models (GFMs).

arXiv:2603. 02462v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: A key challenge in developing unified neural solvers for combinatorial optimization (CO) is the efficient generalization of models from a given set of tasks to new tasks unseen during initial training.

arXiv:2607. 01553v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Transformers have become general-purpose architectures, but their all-to-all self-attention is poorly matched to graph data, whose interactions are sparse, structured and multi-scale.

arXiv:2606. 25293v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Positional encodings (PEs) are essential for Transformers.

arXiv:2509. 24256v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The pretrain-transfer paradigm, which underpins the success of large language models (LLMs), has demonstrated the immense power of creating foundation models that learn generalizable representations from vast datasets.

arXiv:2601. 21369v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Recent studies of federated graph foundational models (FedGFMs) break the idealized and untenable assumption of having centralized data storage to train graph foundation models, and accommodate the reality of distributed, privacy-restricted data silos.

arXiv:2602. 01553v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Link prediction is a core challenge in graph machine learning, demanding models that capture rich and complex topological dependencies.
