One Model, Many Graphs: Learning over Attributed Graphs across Heterogeneous Modalities with Vision-Language Models

arXiv:2607. 19128v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Vision-language models (VLMs) provide a unified representation space for textual and visual information, yet their potential as general-purpose backbones for graph-structured data remains largely unexplored.

MOVE: Multimodal Open-world Verification and Expansion for Graph Learning

The paper introduces MOVE, a framework for multimodal open‑world verification and expansion in graph learning. MOVE jointly uses visual tokens, textual attributes, and graph context to identify nodes that cannot be assigned to existing classes, then employs a multimodal LLM to generate candidate class descriptions. It selectively expands the class space only when multimodal evidence consistently supports the new classes, avoiding redundancy, and reports an average 11.87% improvement across unknown recognition, open‑domain annotation, and downstream graph learning tasks.

Why Does Graph Learning Fail to Fully Benefit from a Text Teacher?

The paper examines a multimodal approach that combines a self‑supervised GNN encoder with an alternating optimization scheme involving a language‑model teacher. Despite the expectation that this joint strategy would enhance predictive performance, the authors find that the combined model fails to deliver significant gains. They identify six key factors—ranging from anchor strength trade‑offs to misaligned representation spaces—that explain why the integration of text knowledge does not fully benefit graph learning.

ViSR-KGC: Visual Subgraph Reasoning with Vision-Language Models for Multimodal Knowledge Graph Completion

arXiv:2608. 05833v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Knowledge graph completion (KGC) aims to infer missing entities or relations from incomplete graph structures, and has evolved into multimodal knowledge graph completion (MMKGC), where entities are associated with multiple modalities such as text and images.
