FloydNet: A Learning Paradigm for Global Relational Reasoning

FloydNet introduces a learning paradigm that maintains ordered pair states and updates target relations by attending over candidate pairs, inspired by the Floyd–Warshall algorithm. The Pivotal Attention mechanism learns relation composition and pivot weighting in parallel, extending to k-tuples in the ζNet framework. Experiments show ζNet achieves high accuracy on CLRS-30 and near-optimal performance on non-metric TSP instances, matching the discriminative power of k-FWL on BREC.

Chaining 2-FWL GNNs for Combinatorial Graph Alignment

arXiv:2510. 03086v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: For the combinatorial graph alignment problem (GAP) -- finding the node correspondence that maximizes the number of common edges (nce) between two unlabeled graphs -- properly initialized FAQ remains a strong classical baseline, while existing GNN approaches struggle in the purely structural setting.

Capacity-Controlled Global Attention for Graph Transformers

arXiv:2604. 17324v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Global self-attention drives modern graph transformers, yet the softmax at its core imposes a structural constraint rarely examined directly: every attention row is non-negative and sums to one, so each per-head output is a mass-conserving convex combination of value vectors.
