MetaSieve is a metapath selection layer that reduces subgraph size in relational deep learning by pruning uninformative metapaths using SQL join and aggregation statistics. It scores candidate metapath extensions with a lightweight function that favors informative yet lightweight paths, discarding those below a threshold. The method is independent of GNN parameters and, when applied to the RelBench benchmark, consistently cuts per‑epoch training time while preserving or improving accuracy.
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.
arXiv:2607. 03659v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Relational databases (RDBs) are the primary data infrastructure in many enterprises, yet recent deep learning methods designed for RDBs have been evaluated under inconsistent experimental protocols, making fair comparison difficult.
arXiv:2606. 03040v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Relational databases underpin modern enterprise, scientific, and healthcare systems, yet predictive machine learning on such data remains challenging due to their multi-table, heterogeneous, and temporal structure.
arXiv:2608. 13023v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Relational Deep Learning (RDL) models multi-tabular databases as temporal heterogeneous graphs to enable end-to-end representation learning.
arXiv:2606. 06397v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Current evaluation practices in relational learning rely heavily on flat leaderboards that average performance across heterogeneous datasets, implicitly assuming a uniform underlying structure.
arXiv:2603. 06952v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: As graphs scale to billions of nodes and edges, graph Machine Learning workloads are constrained by the cost of multi-hop traversals over exponentially growing neighborhoods.
