Freeze, Prompt, and Adapt: A Framework for Source-free Unsupervised GNN Prompting

Peyman Baghershahi, Sourav Medya

Prompt tuning has become a key mechanism for adapting pre-trained Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) to new downstream tasks. However, existing approaches are predominantly supervised, r…

RIDGECUT: Learning Graph Partitioning with Rings and Wedges

Qize Jiang, Angelo Zangari, Linsey Pang +7

Reinforcement learning (RL) has shown promise for combinatorial optimization problems on graphs by learning heuristics that generalize across instances. However, effectively incorp…

Filter-then-Weight: Online Data Selection and Reweighting for LLM Fine-Tuning

Fangxin Wang, Peyman Baghershahi, Langzhou He +3

Gradient-based data selection offers a principled framework for estimating sample utility in large language model (LLM) fine-tuning, but existing methods are mostly designed for of…

GRAPHLCP: Structure-Aware Localized Conformal Prediction on Graphs

Peyman Baghershahi, Fangxin Wang, Debmalya Mandal +1

Conformal prediction (CP) provides a distribution-free approach to uncertainty quantification with finite-sample guarantees. However, applying CP to graph neural networks (GNNs) re…

Colorful Talks with Graphs: Human-Interpretable Graph Encodings for Large Language Models

Angelo Zangari, Peyman Baghershahi, Sourav Medya

Graph problems are fundamentally challenging for large language models (LLMs). While LLMs excel at processing unstructured text, graph tasks require reasoning over explicit structu…
