abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) has undergone a renaissance recently, making major progress in key domains such as vision, language, control, and decision-making. This has been due, in part, to cheap data and cheap compute resources, which have fit the natural strengths of deep learning. However, many defining characteristics of human intelligence, which developed under much different pressures, remain out of reach for current approaches. In particular, generalizing beyond one's experiences--a hallmark of human intelligence from infancy--remains a formidable challenge for modern AI. The following is part position paper, part review, and part unification. We argue that combinatorial generalization must be a top priority for AI to achieve human-like abilities, and that structured representations and computations are key to realizing this objective. Just as biology uses nature and nurture cooperatively, we reject the false choice between "hand-engineering" and "end-to-end" learning, and instead advocate for an approach which benefits from their complementary strengths. We explore how using relational inductive biases within deep learning architectures can facilitate learning about entities, relations, and rules for composing them. We present a new building block for the AI toolkit with a strong relational inductive bias--the graph network--which generalizes and extends various approaches for neural networks that operate on graphs, and provides a straightforward interface for manipulating structured knowledge and producing structured behaviors. We discuss how graph networks can support relational reasoning and combinatorial generalization, laying the foundation for more sophisticated, interpretable, and flexible patterns of reasoning. As a companion to this paper, we have released an open-source software library for building graph networks, with demonstrations of how to use them in practice.

The architecture consists of a GNN encoder trained on a user profile feature set; and a feed- forward decoder built for the task of anomaly detection. FraudGT [19] is the most recent graph-based transformer method. In their pa- per, the authors compare their model performance with a variety of GNN-based models [2, 5, 8, 10, 13, 14, 24, 31, 35, 36]. They prove the superiority of their model over all these methods. FraudGT [19] and MultiGNN [10] are also two o
  • background yields state-of-the-art accuracy among Vision SSMs on ImageNet-1K, COCO, and ADE20K at comparable parameter and FLOP budgets. Because GraphScan sits on the input side, it is orthogonal to recurrence-side advances [46, 68, 6, 27]; composing both directions is a natural next step.

  • background RQ1 - Graph as the prior interface (built on P1). Existing approaches inject domain priors into deep time-series models implicitly, through architectural choices: decomposition blocks [4, 5], sparse attention patterns [6], or task-specific spatio-temporal networks [20]. Each new type of prior demands a new architectural trick, with no shared interface [21, 22]. Primitive P1 turns the factor graph itself into the prior interface, raising the question:can well-known symbolic time-series priors-e.g
  • background for capturing evolving coordination patterns over time, while AGP [37] introduces action-level graph priors that explicitly model dependencies between agent-action pairs to improve fine-grained coordination. Beyond coordination graphs, graph neural networks have been applied more broadly in MARL to model agent interactions [38, 39], encode relational inductive biases [40], and support scalable multi-agent communica- tion [41]. Graph attention networks [42] and graph trans- formers [12] have been
  • background statistical alignment between source and target domains, a process often reliant on a large source dataset [58]; thus, its success in depression detection [34] may depend heavily on the transferred knowledge. In contrast, the success of the CDMA framework stems not from inheriting knowledge but from its inherent architectural design. This provides a crucial inductive bias [59] that allows it to naturally discover the shared pattern of depression even within a typologically distinct language. Thi
