xVGAE: A Hierarchical Variational Graph Autoencoder for Exchangeable Graphs

The paper introduces xVGAE, a hierarchical variational graph autoencoder designed for exchangeable graphs. Leveraging the Aldous-Hoover theorem, the model uses a graph-level latent variable, exchangeable node-specific latent variables, and a graphon function to learn and generate graph distributions efficiently. Experiments demonstrate that xVGAE produces high-quality graphs quickly while capturing key structural properties of the training data.

GraphK: Variable-Size Graph Generation with Efficient Edge Construction

GraphK introduces an encoder‑sampler‑decoder framework that generates variable‑size graphs efficiently. It learns permutation‑invariant latent representations and samples new node embeddings via maximum likelihood, enabling both upscaling and downscaling of graph size. Edge construction uses KDTree‑based top‑k neighbor search in latent space, reducing computational cost while capturing graph properties.

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.
