arXiv:2606. 08491v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Relational deep learning (RDL) converts relational databases (RDBs) into heterogeneous graphs, but graphs derived directly from database schemas are often not well suited for how graph neural networks (GNNs) perform relational reasoning.

The article surveys neural-symbolic reasoning over knowledge graphs from a query perspective, highlighting the limitations of traditional symbolic methods when dealing with incomplete or noisy data. It discusses how the fusion of deep learning and symbolic reasoning—termed Neural Symbolic AI—offers interpretable and versatile solutions, and examines the role of large language models in advancing knowledge graph inference. The survey provides a comprehensive review of query types, classification of neural-symbolic approaches, and future directions for integrating LLMs with knowledge graph reasoning.

Neural Structural Reasoner (NSR) is a brain-inspired neural network that preserves relational structure directly in the connectivity and dynamics of coupled neuronal populations. It incorporates multi-layered architecture, stable entity representations, and path integration to perform link prediction by parallelizing over candidate relational structures and using confidence-weighted scores. NSR achieves competitive accuracy on knowledge-graph benchmarks, trains faster than several neural baselines, and offers native interpretability by tracking human-readable neuron activations and extracting latent relational hierarchies and compositional rules.

The paper presents a graph-based framework for large-scale railway network management, combining a hierarchical Bayesian model with a Gaussian Process on a graph kernel to infer spatially correlated maintenance environments from Swiss Federal Railways data. It introduces a topology-aware Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning system that uses graph neural networks and Transformers to optimize network-level policies. The approach demonstrates scalability via zero-shot transfer learning, enabling agents trained on small network segments to perform effectively on unseen large networks, outperforming heuristics and standard MARL baselines while reducing training time.

The conventional approach to deep learning over relational databases applies neural models, such as Graph Neural Networks (GNNs), to a graph representation of the database. Recent approaches instead operate on databases directly, associating tuples with embeddings and extending query mechanisms to jointly process embeddings and relational content.
arXiv:2606. 29773v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Graphs are widely used to model relational systems, with applications in domains such as social networks, finance, and biomedicine.
