PreGS: A Parameter-Transfer-Based Multi-Expert Graph Neural Network for Node Classification

Graph neural networks have achieved strong performance in node classification by aggregating information from graph neighborhoods. However, a single aggregation mechanism may be insufficient to capture diverse structural patterns across graph datasets. Moreover, independently training multiple structural branches can introduce substantial overhead without necessarily producing stable node representations. To address these issues, this paper proposes PreGS, a parameter-transfer-based multi-expert graph neural network framework. PreGS first pretrains a multi-head graph attention network (GAT) and transfers the linear transformation weights of its first-layer attention heads to multiple GraphSAGE experts. The transferred experts are frozen and used as complementary structural branches. The fused raw node features, GAT head representations, and GraphSAGE expert representations are fed into a multilayer perceptron (MLP), whose output is further fused with the pretrained GAT logits. Based on PreGS, we further develop PreGSv2, which introduces source-level weighting and a structural gating mechanism for adaptive multi-source feature integration. Experiments on eight public graph datasets show that PreGS and PreGSv2 achieve competitive performance against representative graph neural network baselines. Ablation, parameter-transfer, sensitivity, aggregator, visualization, and training-time analyses further validate the effectiveness and stability of the proposed framework. The code and datasets are available at https://github.com/LH-Czc/PreGS.

Odin: Oriented Dual-module Integration for Text-rich Network Representation Learning

Text-attributed graphs require models to effectively combine strong textual understanding with structurally informed reasoning. Existing approaches either rely on GNNs--limited by over-smoothing and hop-dependent diffusion--or employ Transformers that overlook graph topology and treat nodes as isolated sequences. We propose Odin (Oriented Dual-module INtegration), a new architecture that injects graph structure into Transformers at selected depths through an oriented dual-module mechanism. Unlike message-passing GNNs, Odin does not rely on multi-hop diffusion; instead, multi-hop structures are integrated at specific Transformer layers, yielding low-, mid-, and high-level structural abstraction aligned with the model's semantic hierarchy. Because aggregation operates on the global [CLS] representation, Odin fundamentally avoids over-smoothing and decouples structural abstraction from neighborhood size or graph topology. We further establish that Odin's expressive power strictly contains that of both pure Transformers and GNNs. To make the design efficient in large-scale or low-resource settings, we introduce Light Odin, a lightweight variant that preserves the same layer-aligned structural abstraction for faster training and inference. Experiments on multiple text-rich graph benchmarks show that Odin achieves state-of-the-art accuracy, while Light Odin delivers competitive performance with significantly reduced computational cost. Together, Odin and Light Odin form a unified, hop-free framework for principled structure-text integration. The source code of this model has been released at https://github.com/hongkaifeng/Odin.
