arXiv:2606. 08306v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Network dynamics - including spreading, influence maximisation, and epidemic modelling - remain largely confined to the transductive paradigm, where models are trained on a single network and cannot be reused on unseen graphs without retraining.

arXiv:2608. 09596v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) suffer from two fundamental limitations: over-smoothing, where node representations become indistinguishable with depth, and over-squashing, where long-range information is compressed through limited message-passing channels.

arXiv:2608. 13171v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: To avoid missing important variables and their connections in networks, more and more variables are included in network analysis.

arXiv:2603. 06952v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: As graphs scale to billions of nodes and edges, graph Machine Learning workloads are constrained by the cost of multi-hop traversals over exponentially growing neighborhoods.

arXiv:2606. 11562v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Graph analysis underlies many applications whose answers cannot be looked up in a single record or retrieved along a path: laundering rings, drug repurposing, user preference, and scientific theme are all inferred from a node together with its neighbourhood.

Scaffold is a new unsupervised graph sparsification framework for graph neural networks that uses support graph theory preconditioners to jointly control dilation and congestion, thereby preserving short communication paths while avoiding bottlenecks. It achieves superior aggregate ranking across 19 homophilic and heterophilic benchmarks, recovering or closely approaching full‑graph GNN performance with only 10%–50% of the original edges. The method reduces memory usage to less than half and cuts end‑to‑end training time, including sparsification overhead.
