Are Common Substructures Transferable? Riemannian Graph Foundation Model with Neural Vector Bundles 文章

arXiv:2606.03270v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Foundation models have sparked a revolution via a pretraining-adaptation paradigm, with recent efforts extending this success to graphs. Unlike other modalities, graphs contain rich structural patterns, yet their structural transferability remains poorly understood. Prior studies consider common substructures in the discrete realm, and we are motivated by a fundamental question: Are common substructures transferable? The underlying theory is largely underexplored. In this work, we shift toward learning transferable structures through the lens of functional behavior. Theoretically, we connect transferable substructures to intrinsic geometry of the representation space. However, characterizing such intrinsic geometry has rarely been touched. Grounded in Riemannian geometry, we develop a graph intrinsic geometry learning framework called Neural Vector Bundle, which enables parsing intrinsic geometry with local coordinates.
