TTGBench: Benchmarking Topological Evolution and Semantic Drift in Text-attributed Temporal Graphs

Read the original on arXiv AI →

TTGBench is a new benchmark for temporal graph learning that evaluates both structural evolution and semantic drift in text‑attributed graphs. It includes six real‑world, text‑rich datasets with dual volatility and supports multi‑class and multi‑label temporal node classification, addressing gaps left by existing benchmarks. A comprehensive evaluation of 17 state‑of‑the‑art methods shows a clear divide: TGNNs excel at structural prediction but struggle with semantic tracking, while LLM‑based models perform better on semantic tasks but lag in structural prediction.

HeTGB: A Comprehensive Benchmark for Heterophilic Text-Attributed Graphs

HeTGB is a new benchmark for heterophilic text‑attributed graphs, consisting of five real‑world datasets where nodes have rich textual descriptions. It allows systematic evaluation of graph neural networks, pre‑trained language models, and co‑training methods on node classification. The benchmark highlights the utility of text attributes, the challenges of heterophilic TAGs, and the limitations of current models.

SiST-GNN: Simultaneous Spatial-Temporal Message Passing for Dynamic Graph Representation Learning

SiST‑GNN introduces a simultaneous spatial‑temporal message‑passing framework for dynamic graph neural networks, fusing per‑node temporal embeddings with spatial aggregation in a single operation. By maintaining a recurrent hidden state per node and treating it as a cross‑time edge, the model jointly reasons over topology and evolution. Experiments on link‑prediction and node‑classification benchmarks show significant improvements over prior methods, achieving up to 158% gains in live‑update link prediction and outperforming discrete‑time baselines by 7–23% in dynamic node classification.

Bridging Semantics and Structure: A Theoretically Grounded Framework for Link Prediction on TAGs

Bridge-LP is a new framework for link prediction on text‑attributed graphs that combines Graph Neural Networks and Language Models. It introduces three design components: jumping connections for robust language model training, compressed embeddings to encode neighborhood information, and a cache embedding strategy to reduce computational cost. Experiments on nine datasets show that Bridge‑LP outperforms 40 existing models, achieving up to a 43.06% improvement in Mean Reciprocal Rank.
