arXiv:2607. 16198v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have emerged as the leading paradigm for link prediction, enabling the inference of missing connections and the anticipation of potential future links.
Bridge-LP is a new framework for link prediction on text‑attributed graphs that combines Graph Neural Networks and Language Models. It introduces three design components: jumping connections for robust language model training, compressed embeddings to encode neighborhood information, and a cache embedding strategy to reduce computational cost. Experiments on nine datasets show that Bridge‑LP outperforms 40 existing models, achieving up to a 43.06% improvement in Mean Reciprocal Rank.
The paper introduces SLM-Conditioned Hierarchical Relation Routing, a graph neural network architecture that incorporates a small language model to guide message selection in labeled property graphs. It combines structural states, node and relationship property encodings, and relationship types into messages, then uses a parameter‑efficient language model to generate target‑conditioned routing queries that filter relevant messages and route information across relation‑level summaries. The resulting representation updates a topology anchor with bounded residuals, preserving structural evidence while allowing contextual semantic information to influence predictions, and offers interpretable analysis at both neighbor and relationship‑type levels.

SiST‑GNN introduces a simultaneous spatial‑temporal message‑passing framework for dynamic graph neural networks, fusing per‑node temporal embeddings with spatial aggregation in a single operation. By maintaining a recurrent hidden state per node and treating it as a cross‑time edge, the model jointly reasons over topology and evolution. Experiments on link‑prediction and node‑classification benchmarks show significant improvements over prior methods, achieving up to 158% gains in live‑update link prediction and outperforming discrete‑time baselines by 7–23% in dynamic node classification.
