Why Does Graph Learning Fail to Fully Benefit from a Text Teacher?

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

The paper examines a multimodal approach that combines a self‑supervised GNN encoder with an alternating optimization scheme involving a language‑model teacher. Despite the expectation that this joint strategy would enhance predictive performance, the authors find that the combined model fails to deliver significant gains. They identify six key factors—ranging from anchor strength trade‑offs to misaligned representation spaces—that explain why the integration of text knowledge does not fully benefit graph learning.

Dead Weights, Live Signals: Feedforward Graphs of Frozen Language Models

The paper introduces a feedforward graph architecture that uses several frozen large language models as computational nodes connected through a shared continuous latent space via learned linear projections. By jointly optimizing projection matrices through backpropagation, the system combines the representations of three small frozen models with two larger ones, culminating in a lightweight cross‑attention output node. With only 17.6 M trainable parameters, the architecture attains state‑of‑the‑art results on ARC‑Challenge, OpenBookQA, and MMLU, surpassing both individual constituent models and parameter‑matched learned classifiers.

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.
