New theories explore graph foundation model transferability and cross-modal learning

Two new research papers explore the challenges and potential of graph foundation models (GFMs). The first paper, "When Do Graph Foundation Models Transfer? A Data-Centric Theory," investigates the properties of graph domains that influence the transferability of GFMs, proposing a theoretical framework to decompose output shifts and guide data curation. The second paper, "Graph is a Substrate Across Data Modalities," introduces G-Substrate, a framework designed to organize graph structure learning across heterogeneous modalities and tasks, aiming to accumulate structural regularities rather than repeatedly reconstructing them.

    When Do Graph Foundation Models Transfer? A Data-Centric Theory

    arXiv:2605.29828v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Graph foundation models (GFMs) aim to reuse a single backbone across diverse graph domains, yet their transfer is often uneven and can exhibit negative transfer. While most prior work improves transfer through architectural or adapt…

    Graph is a Substrate Across Data Modalities

    arXiv:2601.22384v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Graphs provide a natural representation of relational structure that arises across diverse domains. Despite this ubiquity, graph structure is typically learned in a modality- and task-isolated manner, where graph represent…
