From topology learning to graph generation: A unifying perspective

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.

Graph Neural Networks for the Graphical Bootstrap

arXiv:2607. 03109v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We study a graph classification problem involving over 20 million graphs, arising from high-order perturbative computations of correlators in planar $\mathcal{N}=4$ super-Yang--Mills, a model closely related to the theory of the strong nuclear force.

Provable Guarantees for Spectral Structured Prediction

The paper presents provable guarantees for a spectral method that recovers binary node labels on signed graphs with edge‑flip noise. It provides graph‑structure‑agnostic bounds on approximate inference accuracy and maximum angle deviation, using matrix concentration and eigenvector perturbation techniques. The results connect to the Cheeger constant and are validated with synthetic experiments, marking the first theoretical analysis of this spectral approach.

A Survey of Graph Transformers: Architectures, Theories and Applications

arXiv:2502. 16533v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Graph Transformers (GTs) have demonstrated a strong capability in modeling graph structures by addressing the intrinsic limitations of graph neural networks (GNNs), such as over-smoothing and over-squashing.
