The survey titled "When Vision Meets Graphs: A Survey on Graph Reasoning and Learning" reviews how visual depictions of graphs can be used as inputs for graph reasoning and learning. It highlights that while Graph Neural Networks dominate graph machine learning, most pipelines ignore the visual form of graphs, despite scientists routinely interpreting graphs visually. The paper organizes existing work into three threads—vision for graph reasoning, vision for graph learning, and scientific graphs—aiming to clarify current capabilities and chart a path toward foundation models that perceive and reason about graphs like scientists do.
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.
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.

ReactBench is a benchmark designed to evaluate the structural reasoning abilities of multimodal large language models (MLLMs) using chemical reaction diagrams. The dataset contains 1,618 expert‑annotated question‑answer pairs that test reasoning across four hierarchical task dimensions, from simple endpoint counting to complex topological analysis. Evaluation of 24 MLLMs shows a performance gap of more than 30% between anchor‑based tasks and holistic structural reasoning tasks, indicating that current models struggle with reasoning over branching, converging, and cyclic structures.
