Concorde: Geometry-Aware Link Prediction via Decoupled Energy Minimization

Read the original on arXiv AI →

Concorde is an energy‑based framework for link prediction that tackles sparse graphs by decomposing link likelihood into three decoupled branches: a parameter‑free spectral anchor for topological stability, a mixed‑curvature residual on a learnable hyperbolic‑spherical product manifold regularized by a curvature proxy, and a continuous vector field on the hyperbolic tangent bundle for non‑local alignment. These branches are fused via learned gating and trained with an N‑pair ranking loss. On five diverse benchmarks, Concorde achieves state‑of‑the‑art early retrieval precision, nearly doubling P@10% over leading baselines in sparse settings.

Distilling Graph Geometry: Knowledge Gap from GNNs to MLPs

The paper introduces G^2MLP, a graph‑free MLP trained via distillation from a GNN teacher while preserving the teacher’s graph‑induced geometry. It identifies two spectral failure modes—underfit on sparse graphs and overfit on dense graphs—caused by neglecting geometry during distillation. By using Ollivier‑Ricci curvature to guide supervision between prediction‑level and representation‑level alignment, G^2MLP improves node‑classification performance and reduces the teacher‑student rank gap across benchmarks.
