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.

Positional encodings (PEs) are essential for Transformers. Yet designing effective PEs for non-Euclidean graphs remains challenging.

arXiv:2607. 17570v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Graph foundation models (GFMs) with global attention are increasingly used to represent mixed-integer linear programs (MILPs), aiming to capture structure beyond the locality of standard graph neural networks.

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. 17522v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Deep neural networks are widely believed to derive their expressive power from their ability to form \textbf{hierarchical representations}, capturing progressively more abstract and compositional features across layers.

arXiv:2606. 27449v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multi-head attention conventionally partitions the hidden dimension equally across all heads at every layer, enforcing an identical representational subspace dimension (dh = dmodel/h) throughout the models depth.

arXiv:2502. 16533v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Graph Transformers (GTs) have demonstrated a strong capability in modeling graph structures by addressing the intrinsic limitations of graph neural networks (GNNs), such as over-smoothing and over-squashing.

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:2606. 21497v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Modern deep neural networks are trained using error backpropagation, which requires sequential forward and backward computations across network layers.

arXiv:2607. 10677v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Self-attention is a ubiquitous primitive in modern sequence models, yet its operator-level geometry is only partially understood.
