ATEX-CF: Attack-Informed Counterfactual Explanations for Graph Neural Networks

ICLR 2026poster

Counterfactual explanations offer an intuitive way to interpret graph neural networks (GNNs) by identifying minimal changes that alter a model’s prediction, thereby answering “what must differ for a different outcome?”. In this work, we propose a novel framework, ATEX-CF that unifies adversarial att…

TopoFormer: Topology Meets Attention for Graph Learning

ICLR 2026poster

We introduce *TopoFormer*, a lightweight and scalable framework for graph representation learning that encodes topological structure into attention-friendly sequences. At the core of our method is *Topo-Scan*, a novel module that decomposes a graph into a short, ordered sequence of topological token…

MiNT: Multi-Network Transfer Benchmark for Temporal Graph Learning

NeurIPS 2025poster

Temporal Graph Learning (TGL) aims to discover patterns in evolving networks or temporal graphs and leverage these patterns to predict future interactions. However, most existing research focuses on learning from a single network in isolation, leaving the challenges of within-domain and cross-domain…

GraphPulse: Topological representations for temporal graph property prediction

ICLR 2024poster

Many real-world networks evolve over time, and predicting the evolution of such networks remains a challenging task. Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have shown empirical success for learning on static graphs, but they lack the ability to effectively learn from nodes and edges with different timestamps.…
