arXiv:2606. 09806v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We introduce Topological Neural Operators (TNOs), a principled framework for operator learning on cell complexes that lifts neural operators (NOs) from functions on points and/or edges to topological domains.

The paper demonstrates that high‑quality graph embeddings can be produced without complex models or training by propagating random features through topological structures derived from random walks and anonymous walks. These training‑free embeddings capture node proximity and structural roles, respectively, and perform competitively on node, edge, and graph tasks while often requiring less computation. Combining the two embedding types further improves inference quality for some tasks.

The article reviews the problem of learning graph structures from data, noting that research has traditionally split into two paths: inferring the topology of a single graph from observations on it, and learning a generative distribution from multiple observed graphs to sample new ones. It proposes a unified framework that treats both as inverse problems of a common graph generation process, reviews key methods, and discusses their interrelations, strengths, and limitations. The review highlights opportunities for cross‑paradigm integration and outlines future research directions.
