The conventional approach to deep learning over relational databases applies neural models, such as Graph Neural Networks (GNNs), to a graph representation of the database. Recent approaches instead operate on databases directly, associating tuples with embeddings and extending query mechanisms to jointly process embeddings and relational content.
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.

MetaRTL is a two-stage framework for relational table learning that first generates lightweight pre-trained table embeddings and then applies non‑parametric message passing to extract meta‑path features. These features are aggregated using an attention module called MetaAttn, shifting computation from deep GNN stacks to efficient meta‑path aggregation. Experiments on 10 real‑world datasets across 24 tasks show that MetaRTL achieves strong performance while reducing computational cost.
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:2507. 21873v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Graph neural networks (GNNs) excel at predictive tasks on graph-structured data but often lack the ability to incorporate symbolic domain knowledge and perform general reasoning.
The article surveys neural-symbolic reasoning over knowledge graphs from a query perspective, highlighting the limitations of traditional symbolic methods when dealing with incomplete or noisy data. It discusses how the fusion of deep learning and symbolic reasoning—termed Neural Symbolic AI—offers interpretable and versatile solutions, and examines the role of large language models in advancing knowledge graph inference. The survey provides a comprehensive review of query types, classification of neural-symbolic approaches, and future directions for integrating LLMs with knowledge graph reasoning.
