The paper reinterprets graph neural networks (GNNs) as retrieval-augmented models, where each layer uses an MLP on a node representation and a permutation‑invariant summary of retrieved graph context instead of traditional message passing. It introduces RTA, a lightweight MLP‑based framework that replaces structural message passing with label‑aware retrieval and propagation, and provides theoretical links to softmax‑attention message passing and robustness to mis‑retrieved outliers. Experiments on text‑attributed graph benchmarks demonstrate that RTA matches or surpasses strong GNN and graph LLM baselines while improving efficiency and robustness.

SynCo is a synthetic graph generator that lets users control node degree distributions and sub‑community structures, addressing limitations of existing generators that rely on power‑law distributions and lack flexibility. It is evaluated on graph mimicking, hyperparameter tuning, and node clustering, outperforming state‑of‑the‑art methods while preserving original data distributions. SynCo can generate large graphs with up to 2.1 million nodes.

The paper introduces Inductive Correlation Clustering, a new framework that uses Graph Neural Networks to solve the Correlation Clustering problem on unseen graph instances. By learning common structural patterns and node features, the method generalizes to new graphs with minimal computational overhead, achieving inference times up to five orders of magnitude faster while maintaining an approximation ratio within about 10% of the best baseline. It also demonstrates competitive performance on standard transductive benchmarks and serves as an efficient learnable pooling layer for graph classification tasks.
