arXiv:2505. 15405v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: While Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have proven highly effective at modeling relational data, pairwise connections cannot fully capture multi-way relationships naturally present in complex real-world systems.

The paper introduces higher-order positional encodings that enrich graph representations by incorporating topological information from lifted incidence structures, without altering existing graph learning backbones. It theoretically shows that these encodings can mix graph Laplacian frequencies beyond what scalar spectral filters achieve, and demonstrates their effectiveness on Graph Transformers for datasets like ZINC and synthetic benchmarks. The approach bridges graph positional encodings and topological deep learning, enabling standard models to exploit higher-order interactions.

The paper demonstrates that high‑quality graph embeddings can be produced without complex models or training by propagating random features through topological structures derived from random walks and anonymous walks. These training‑free embeddings capture node proximity and structural roles, respectively, and perform competitively on node, edge, and graph tasks while often requiring less computation. Combining the two embedding types further improves inference quality for some tasks.
