Position: How can Graphs Help Large Language Models?

With the rapid advancement of large language models (LLMs), classic graph learning tasks have greatly benefited from LLMs, including improved encoding of textual features, more efficient construction of graphs from text, and enhanced reasoning over knowledge graphs. In this paper, we ask a complementary question: How can graphs help LLMs? We address this question from three perspectives: 1) graphs provide an up-to-date knowledge source that helps reduce LLM hallucinations, 2) graph-based prompting techniques-such as Chain-of-Thought (CoT), Tree-of-Thought (ToT), and Graph-of-Thought (GoT)-enhance LLM reasoning capabilities, and 3) integrating graphs into LLMs improves their understanding of structured data, expanding their applicability to domains such as e-commerce, code, and relational databases (RDBs). We further outlook some future directions including designing sparse LLM architectures based on graphs and brain-inspired memory systems.

SAGE: A Self-Evolving Agentic Graph-Memory Engine for Structure-Aware Associative Memory

Long-term memory is becoming a central bottleneck for language agents. Exsting RAG and GraphRAG systems largely treat memory graphs as static retrieval middleware, which limits their ability to recover complete evidence chains from partial cues, exploit reusable graph-structrual roles, and improve the memory itself through downstream feedback. We introduce SAGE, a Self-evolving Agentic Graph-memory Engine that models graph memory as a dynamic long-term memory substrate. SAGE couples two roles: a memory writer that incrementally constucts structured graph memory from interaction histories, and a Graph Foundation Model-based memory reader to perform retrieval and provide feedback to the memory writer. We provide rigorooous theoretical annalyses supporting the framework. Across multi-hop QA, open-domain retireval, domain-specific review QA, and long-term agent-memory benchmarks, SAGE improves evidence recovery, answer grounding, and retrieval efficiency: after two self-evolution rounds, it achieves the best average rank on multi-hop QA; in zero-shot open-domain transfer, it reaches 82.5/91.6 Recall@2/5 on NQ. Further results on LongMemEval and HaluMem show that traning and reader-writer feedback improve multiple long-term memory and hallucination-diagnostic metrics, suggesting that self-evolving, structure-aware graph memory is a promising foundation for robust long-horizon language agents.

How Powerful are Spectral Graph Neural Networks

Spectral Graph Neural Network is a kind of Graph Neural Network (GNN) based on graph signal filters. Some models able to learn arbitrary spectral filters have emerged recently. However, few works analyze the expressive power of spectral GNNs. This paper studies spectral GNNs' expressive power theoretically. We first prove that even spectral GNNs without nonlinearity can produce arbitrary graph signals and give two conditions for reaching universality. They are: 1) no multiple eigenvalues of graph Laplacian, and 2) no missing frequency components in node features. We also establish a connection between the expressive power of spectral GNNs and Graph Isomorphism (GI) testing, the latter of which is often used to characterize spatial GNNs' expressive power. Moreover, we study the difference in empirical performance among different spectral GNNs with the same expressive power from an optimization perspective, and motivate the use of an orthogonal basis whose weight function corresponds to the graph signal density in the spectrum. Inspired by the analysis, we propose JacobiConv, which uses Jacobi basis due to its orthogonality and flexibility to adapt to a wide range of weight functions. JacobiConv deserts nonlinearity while outperforming all baselines on both synthetic and real-world datasets.

PromotionLens: Inspecting Promotion Strategies of Online E-commerce via Visual Analytics

Promotions are commonly used by e-commerce merchants to boost sales. The efficacy of different promotion strategies can help sellers adapt their offering to customer demand in order to survive and thrive. Current approaches to designing promotion strategies are either based on econometrics, which may not scale to large amounts of sales data, or are spontaneous and provide little explanation of sales volume. Moreover, accurately measuring the effects of promotion designs and making bootstrappable adjustments accordingly remains a challenge due to the incompleteness and complexity of the information describing promotion strategies and their market environments. We present PromotionLens, a visual analytics system for exploring, comparing, and modeling the impact of various promotion strategies. Our approach combines representative multivariant time-series forecasting models and well-designed visualizations to demonstrate and explain the impact of sales and promotional factors, and to support "what-if" analysis of promotions. Two case studies, expert feedback, and a qualitative user study demonstrate the efficacy of PromotionLens.

Two-Dimensional Weisfeiler-Lehman Graph Neural Networks for Link Prediction

Link prediction is one important application of graph neural networks (GNNs). Most existing GNNs for link prediction are based on one-dimensional Weisfeiler-Lehman (1-WL) test. 1-WL-GNNs first compute node representations by iteratively passing neighboring node features to the center, and then obtain link representations by aggregating the pairwise node representations. As pointed out by previous works, this two-step procedure results in low discriminating power, as 1-WL-GNNs by nature learn node-level representations instead of link-level. In this paper, we study a completely different approach which can directly obtain node pair (link) representations based on \textit{two-dimensional Weisfeiler-Lehman (2-WL) tests}. 2-WL tests directly use links (2-tuples) as message passing units instead of nodes, and thus can directly obtain link representations. We theoretically analyze the expressive power of 2-WL tests to discriminate non-isomorphic links, and prove their superior link discriminating power than 1-WL. Based on different 2-WL variants, we propose a series of novel 2-WL-GNN models for link prediction. Experiments on a wide range of real-world datasets demonstrate their competitive performance to state-of-the-art baselines and superiority over plain 1-WL-GNNs.

Irreducibility of geometric Galois representations and the Tate conjecture for a family of elliptic surfaces

Using Calegari's result on the Fontaine-Mazur conjecture, we study the irreducibility of pure, regular, rank 3 weakly compatible systems of self-dual l-adic representations. As a consequence, we prove that the Tate conjecture holds for a family of elliptic surfaces defined over Q with geometric genus bigger than 1.
