New WL-SeqVAE method generates graphs using sequence-based variational autoencoders

Researchers have introduced WL-SeqVAE, a novel sequence-based variational autoencoder designed for generating graphs. This method leverages node colors derived from the Weisfeiler-Leman algorithm as structural tokens, transforming graph generation into a sequence generation problem. WL-SeqVAE encodes graphs into sequences of these colors, which are then used by an autoregressive decoder to reconstruct the graph, incorporating compatibility constraints for structural consistency. The approach has demonstrated competitive performance against established baselines on molecular and general graph generation tasks, particularly in metrics related to local structure and molecular quality.

    WL-SeqVAE: Sequence-Based Graph Generation Using Variational Autoencoders and Weisfeiler-Leman Colors

    arXiv:2610.32650v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In this paper, we introduce WL-SeqVAE, a sequence-based variational autoencoder for generating graphs. The key observation behind WL-SeqVAE is that node colors induced by the Weisfeiler-Leman (WL) algorithm provide compact discrete …
