arXiv:2608. 10619v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Message-passing neural networks (MPNNs) often struggle when task-relevant information is distributed across distant regions of a graph, since local propagation must compress remote signals through limited structural interfaces.

The paper presents a reinforcement learning approach to generate graph ensembles that satisfy a hard assortativity constraint, a measure of degree–degree correlation between adjacent nodes. Unlike traditional soft-constraint methods, the learned policy performs degree-preserving rewiring to meet the exact target, reducing generation cost by at least an order of magnitude while preserving over 98% of configurational diversity. Trained on small graphs, the method generalizes to larger sizes and different topologies, allowing precise control over secondary observables such as the clustering coefficient.

The Traffic Assignment Problem is a fundamental but computationally expensive component of transportation planning. While Graph Neural Networks have emerged as fast, data-driven surrogates, their practical deployment is severely constrained by a spatial generalization gap.
Scaffold is a new unsupervised graph sparsification framework for graph neural networks that uses support graph theory preconditioners to jointly control dilation and congestion, thereby preserving short communication paths while avoiding bottlenecks. It achieves superior aggregate ranking across 19 homophilic and heterophilic benchmarks, recovering or closely approaching full‑graph GNN performance with only 10%–50% of the original edges. The method reduces memory usage to less than half and cuts end‑to‑end training time, including sparsification overhead.
