SLM-Conditioned Hierarchical Relation Routing for Labeled Property Graph Learning

The paper introduces SLM-Conditioned Hierarchical Relation Routing, a graph neural network architecture that incorporates a small language model to guide message selection in labeled property graphs. It combines structural states, node and relationship property encodings, and relationship types into messages, then uses a parameter‑efficient language model to generate target‑conditioned routing queries that filter relevant messages and route information across relation‑level summaries. The resulting representation updates a topology anchor with bounded residuals, preserving structural evidence while allowing contextual semantic information to influence predictions, and offers interpretable analysis at both neighbor and relationship‑type levels.

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.

LLM as GNN: Graph Vocabulary Learning for Text-Attributed Graph Foundation Models

The paper introduces PromptGFM, a Graph Foundation Model designed for text‑attributed graphs (TAGs). It integrates Large Language Models (LLMs) and Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) through a Graph Understanding Module that prompts LLMs to emulate GNN workflows, and a Graph Inference Module that creates a language‑based graph vocabulary for better alignment and scalability. Experiments show PromptGFM outperforms existing methods and transfers effectively across various graphs and tasks.

LLMs+Graphs: Toward Graph-Native, Synergistic AI Systems

Large Language Models (LLMs) have advanced rapidly, but their limitations in structured and multi-hop reasoning underscore the need for graph-native, synergistic artificial intelligence (AI) systems. Graph-structured data underpins critical applications across social, biological, financial, transportation, web, and knowledge domains, making it essential to understand how LLMs can leverage graph computation for grounded, context-rich inference.
