New framework enables LLMs to explore graph neighborhoods for better reasoning

A new framework called Call Neighbours Yourself (CNY) has been proposed for large language models (LLMs) to reason over text-attributed graphs. Unlike existing methods that use a fixed set of neighbors, CNY allows LLMs to proactively explore graph neighborhoods by learning when to expand candidate neighbors for additional evidence. This approach addresses the challenge of delayed credit in neighbor exploration through destination-conditioned on-policy self-distillation, which converts changes in action preference into training signals. Experiments show that CNY outperforms fixed-context baselines on standard graph reasoning benchmarks and demonstrates transferability to unseen graphs and different tasks. AI

IMPACT This framework could improve LLM performance on tasks requiring reasoning over complex, interconnected data.

    Call Neighbours Yourself: Graph Walks with Destination-Conditioned On-Policy Self-Distillation

    arXiv:2608.29588v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reasoning over text-attributed graphs (TAGs) requires large language models (LLMs) to combine a node's text with evidence distributed across its neighbourhood. Existing methods fix the set of accessible neighbours before generation,…
