Geodesics of Dynamic Graphs for Regime Change Detection

arXiv:2606. 07151v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Traditional change point detection in dynamic networks assumes abrupt transitions between stationary states, overlooking scenarios of continuous evolution which arise in most real-world applications, such as social networks or physical systems.

Beyond Static Graph World Models: Learning Stochastic Latent Dynamics over Evolving Topologies

The paper introduces the Graph Dynamics Model (GDM), a world model that learns stochastic latent dynamics over evolving graph topologies. GDM employs a sparse recurrent adjacency matrix for topology updates and a recurrent state‑space architecture for stochastic transitions, enabling it to handle partially observable, stochastic environments. The authors also propose the Graph Distribution Distance (GDD) metric, using maximum mean discrepancy with a graph kernel, to compare predicted and true joint graph state distributions, and demonstrate GDM’s superior performance and zero‑shot generalisation on large graphs.

A Generalization Theory for JEPA-Based World Models

arXiv:2606. 27014v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Joint Embedding Predictive Architectures (JEPAs) have recently emerged as a promising paradigm for world modeling by learning predictive dynamics in a latent space rather than generating future observations at the input level.
