HyperFuse: Fast Self-Supervised Node Embeddings for Attributed Hypergraphs

HyperFuse is a new, label‑free pipeline for fast self‑supervised node embeddings on attributed hypergraphs. It computes structural node coordinates via a spectral relaxation of hypergraph modularity, builds multi‑scale feature summaries with utility‑weighted hyperedges, and trains a lightweight encoder for only 100 epochs. In experiments on nine public hypergraphs, HyperFuse achieved 13–179× speed‑ups over baselines and matched or exceeded their accuracy on most downstream tasks.

Selective Hypergraph Refinement for Frozen Graph Clustering

The paper introduces Selective Hypergraph Refinement (SHR), a post‑processing technique for frozen graph clustering models that does not alter model parameters, node representations, or the original graph. SHR uses an attribute hypergraph to generate candidate refinement directions and selectively updates only nodes with sufficient support, preserving the majority of original assignments. Experiments on 15 backbone‑dataset combinations show modest macro gains (up to 0.137 pp) with very few hard assignment changes, indicating a limited but measurable refinement space after training.

Geometry-Aware Graph Construction via Adaptive Spectral Bandwidth Control

The paper introduces a geometry‑aware graph construction method that adaptively selects Gaussian kernel bandwidths per node to align the kernel’s spectral complexity with the intrinsic dimensionality of the underlying manifold. By matching the kernel’s effective rank to a local intrinsic dimension estimate derived from a minimum spanning tree, the method operates within a manifold‑consistent log‑log scaling regime. Experiments on CIFAR‑100 demonstrate that this adaptive bandwidth approach consistently improves leave‑one‑out classification and label propagation accuracy compared to fixed‑bandwidth and other adaptive techniques.

Towards One-for-All Foundation Model for Attributed Graph Clustering

The paper introduces OFAG, a foundation model designed for attributed graph clustering that can be trained once and applied to diverse graphs without graph‑specific tuning. It learns a reusable clustering strategy from synthetic graphs and uses a dimension‑agnostic encoder to handle varying feature spaces, producing clustering‑friendly node representations in a single forward pass. Across ten datasets, a frozen OFAG model outperforms baselines in both speed and clustering quality, and the authors provide code and pretrained checkpoints for easy adoption.
