Community-Aware Vertex Ordering for Reference-Based Graph Compression: A Cross-Encoder Empirical Study

arXiv:2605. 21510v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Reference-based graph compression encodes each vertex's neighbor list as differences from a nearby encoded list.

GraphInfer-Bench: Benchmarking LLM's Inference Capability on Graphs

arXiv:2606. 11562v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Graph analysis underlies many applications whose answers cannot be looked up in a single record or retrieved along a path: laundering rings, drug repurposing, user preference, and scientific theme are all inferred from a node together with its neighbourhood.

Instruction Set and Language for Hypergraphs

arXiv:2607. 10194v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We present IsalHG, a method for representing the structure of any finite, connected hypergraph of bounded hyperedge arity as a string over a compact instruction alphabet $\Sigma_{\mathrm{HG}}$.

Projection and Quantisation: A Unifying View of Learning to Hash, from Random Projections to the RAG Era

arXiv:2510. 04127v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Approximate nearest neighbour (ANN) search underpins large-scale retrieval, increasingly within the retrieval-augmented generation pipelines that ground large language models, yet the methods that address it have multiplied across communities until they are seldom read as a single field.

Chaining 2-FWL GNNs for Combinatorial Graph Alignment

arXiv:2510. 03086v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: For the combinatorial graph alignment problem (GAP) -- finding the node correspondence that maximizes the number of common edges (nce) between two unlabeled graphs -- properly initialized FAQ remains a strong classical baseline, while existing GNN approaches struggle in the purely structural setting.

UnWeaving the knots of GraphRAG -- turns out VectorRAG is almost enough

arXiv:2603. 29875v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: One of the key problems in Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems is that chunk-based retrieval pipelines represent the source chunks as atomic objects, mixing the information contained within such a chunk into a single vector.

When Design Rules Break: Benchmark Composition Determines Whether Label Informativeness Predicts GNN Aggregator Choice

arXiv:2606. 10249v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We examine whether graph neural network (GNN) design rules generalize across benchmark families by studying aggregator selection (sum, mean, max) on 24 node-classification datasets spanning citation, heterophilic, LINKX Facebook-100, co-purchase, and co-authorship graphs.

Mapping Text to Multiplex Graph: Prompt Compression as L\'evy Walk-Guided Graph Pruning

arXiv:2607. 01241v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Existing prompt compression methods treat text as flat token sequences, failing to capture the distributed nature of important information, which is often spread across multiple locations and connected through both local syntactic dependencies and global semantic relations.
