Lost in Tokenization: Fundamental Trade-offs in Graph Tokenization for Transformers

The paper investigates how the choice of graph tokenization affects transformer expressivity. It analyzes three tokenization families—spectral, random‑walk, and adjacency—showing that each induces different depth requirements and that some tokenizations are inherently lossy or ill‑conditioned for certain tasks. The authors prove lower bounds and impossibility results for converting between tokenizations and validate these findings with experiments on synthetic and real‑world data.

Inductive Correlation Clustering with Graph Neural Networks

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.
