arXiv:2606. 05042v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Marginal inference in discrete graphical models forces a choice between exactness and scalability: exact algorithms are intractable for high-treewidth graphs, while iterative approximations (Belief Propagation, variational methods) sacrifice convergence guarantees on frustrated topologies.

Variational Bayesian Flow Network for Graph Generation

The paper introduces Variational Bayesian Flow Network (VBFN), a graph generation model that lifts Bayesian updates to a joint Gaussian belief family with structured precisions, enabling coupled node and edge updates in a single fusion step. By constructing sample‑agnostic sparse precisions from a representation‑induced dependency graph, VBFN avoids label leakage while enforcing node‑edge consistency. Experiments on synthetic and molecular graph datasets show that VBFN improves fidelity and diversity over baseline methods.

Transport-Coupled Bayesian Flows for Molecular Graph Generation

Transport-Coupled Bayesian Flows for Molecular Graph Generation (TopBF) addresses a key mismatch in existing diffusion models for molecular graph generation by eliminating the need for hard discretization during sampling. The framework generates graphs directly in continuous parameter distributions, learns graph topology via a Quasi-Wasserstein optimal‑transport coupling with geodesic costs, and enables property‑conditioned generation without retraining. Experiments on QM9 and ZINC250k show that TopBF achieves higher structural fidelity and more efficient generation compared to prior methods.

Equivariant Neural Belief Propagation

arXiv:2606. 06344v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Probabilistic inference over spatially embedded variables requires beliefs that respect $SE(3)$ symmetry, yet existing equivariant networks produce only scalars and vectors -- not the rank-2 precision tensors needed for anisotropic uncertainty, and single-component messages collapse multi-modal energy landscapes to physically meaningless averages.
