The paper introduces GraphBind, a topology-driven method for multimodal graph foundation models that binds heterogeneous node modalities into a unified shared space using graph topology. By leveraging stable graph structure to organize self and neighborhood semantics, GraphBind adapts this integrated space for both discriminative and generative tasks. Experiments against 11 baselines show that GraphBind outperforms them, achieving up to 28.1% relative improvement on key tasks.

The paper introduces FedCORE, a federated adaptation framework for multimodal graph foundation models that jointly optimizes perception (Encoder) and reasoning (GNN) modules via a shared low‑dimensional latent state. Unlike prior methods that freeze the Encoder, FedCORE allows both components to adapt together, addressing the dependency between multimodal evidence extraction and graph‑based relational reasoning. Experiments show that FedCORE significantly narrows the Encoder–GNN pairing gap, achieving an 80.7% reduction compared to independent joint adaptation.

The paper introduces Supervised Deep Multimodal Matrix Factorization (SD3MF), an interpretable framework that extends Symmetric Nonnegative Matrix Tri-Factorization to supervised prediction across populations of multimodal brain graphs. SD3MF learns deep hierarchical factorizations for each modality and a shared latent representation, jointly optimizing graph reconstruction and prediction while enabling data-driven multimodal fusion. Experiments on multimodal connectome datasets demonstrate that SD3MF outperforms strong deep learning baselines such as CNNs and GNNs, providing biologically interpretable insights through community-level interaction matrices.

DIGOM (Disentangled Interaction Graphs for Outcome prediction in Multimodal healthcare) is a graph-based framework that jointly models intra‑patient cross‑modal, cross‑patient same‑modal, and cross‑patient cross‑modal interactions. It learns a sparse multiplex graph with patient‑adaptive connectivity through a differentiable sampling mechanism, enabling end‑to‑end learning without a fixed neighbor count. Evaluated on MIMIC‑IV and NIH‑TB datasets across five clinical prediction tasks, DIGOM achieves the highest AUROC while using fewer connections than existing multi‑interaction approaches, and shows robustness to missing modalities and task‑specific connectivity patterns.
