The paper "OpenGraph: Towards Open Graph Foundation Models" by Lianghao Xia, Ben Kao, and Chao Huang from the University of Hong Kong addresses the challenges of generalizing graph neural networks (GNNs) to unseen graph data. The authors propose a general graph foundation model, OpenGraph, designed to understand complex topological patterns in diverse graph data and excel in zero-shot graph learning tasks across different datasets. Key contributions include: 1. **Unified Graph Tokenizer**: A unified graph tokenizer that transforms input graphs into universal token sequences, handling variations in node token sets and relational semantics. 2. **Scalable Graph Transformer**: A scalable graph transformer that captures global node-wise dependencies using efficient self-attention mechanisms and anchor sampling. 3. **LLM-Enhanced Data Augmentation**: A mechanism that combines large language models (LLMs) with data augmentation techniques to generate synthetic graphs, addressing domain-specific data scarcity. The paper evaluates OpenGraph on various graph learning tasks, including link prediction and node classification, using multiple real-world datasets. Extensive experiments demonstrate the model's superior performance in zero-shot learning, even in few-shot learning scenarios. The results highlight the effectiveness of OpenGraph in generalizing across different graph domains and datasets, making it a promising foundation for future graph learning applications.The paper "OpenGraph: Towards Open Graph Foundation Models" by Lianghao Xia, Ben Kao, and Chao Huang from the University of Hong Kong addresses the challenges of generalizing graph neural networks (GNNs) to unseen graph data.
