Are Graph Transformers Necessary? Efficient Long-Range Message Passing with Fractal Nodes in MPNNs

AAAI 2026technical

Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have emerged as powerful tools for learning on graph-structured data, but often struggle to balance local and global information. While graph Transformers aim to address this by enabling long-range interactions, they often overlook the inherent locality and efficiency of
