Spectral Initialization and Scheduled Graph Smoothness for Uncertain Knowledge Graph Completion

Uncertain knowledge graphs (UKGs) extend knowledge graphs by assigning each triple a continuous confidence score. Since most possible triples lack observed confidences, recent methods rely on semi-supervised learning to generate pseudo-labels. These methods initialize entity embeddings without using the confidence-weighted graph, discarding its global community and hub structure. We introduce QUEST, which adds no trainable parameters to the standard confidence-distribution learning pipeline. First, QUEST initializes entity embeddings using the smallest non-trivial eigenvectors of the confidence-weighted graph Laplacian, incorporating community and hub structure before training. Second, QUEST applies an unbiased mini-batch Dirichlet energy regularizer to enforce early-stage structural consistency. On two UKG datasets, QUEST improves confidence prediction and link prediction on six of eight metric-dataset pairs over prior methods and matches the previous best on the remaining two, while removing the instability spike observed on dense graphs. These results indicate that spectral structural priors combined with a graph Dirichlet energy regularizer improve accuracy, training stability, and checkpoint reliability in UKG completion.

A Weisfeiler-Leman Characterization of Global-Attention Graph Transformers for Mixed-Integer Linear Programs

Graph foundation models (GFMs) with global attention are increasingly used to represent mixed-integer linear programs (MILPs), aiming to capture structure beyond the locality of standard graph neural networks. We study their expressive power through graph isomorphism testing, asking which MILP instances they map to identical representations. We prove that a broad class of hierarchical graph transformers combining global linear attention, edge-weighted cross-attention, and bipartite message passing is bounded by the one-dimensional Weisfeiler-Leman (1-WL) test: under any parameter setting, 1-WL-equivalent MILP graphs receive identical graph embeddings. Our compositional proof shows that each architectural component is a symmetric multiset function and thus preserves 1-WL equivalence. We validate this characterization across ten diverse graph encoders, including Graphormer-, GraphGPS-, Set-Transformer-, and Gasse-style models. Across model capacities, graph scales, and pooling operators, every tested encoder maps 1-WL-equivalent non-isomorphic graph pairs to numerically identical embeddings. Consequently, graph invariants that vary within a 1-WL equivalence class cannot be recovered from these representations. We further show that expressiveness beyond 1-WL arises from input encoding rather than attention: random-walk positional encodings separate the constructed pairs, while additional constructions expose the limits of this remedy. These results characterize the expressive power of global-attention GFMs and provide an encoder-agnostic diagnostic for detecting 1-WL-induced representation equivalence.

GUI-Primitives: Diagnosing Spatial Reasoning Failures in Vision-Language GUI Grounding

Computer-use agents ground natural-language instructions in screenshots to locate interface elements, yet existing benchmarks do not isolate whether models bind relational language to the correct element. We introduce GUI-Primitives, a 994-item benchmark of contrastive instruction pairs over seven spatial relations in graphical user interfaces (left/right, above/below, containment, alignment, proximity, list ordinal, occlusion). Each pair holds the screenshot and anchor fixed while changing the relation expression, so the correct target moves between two designated candidates. Five annotators validate a 196-item subset ($\kappa = 0.94$ well-formedness; $\kappa = 0.79$ target selection). Nineteen vision-language models reach at most $32\%$ strict point-in-box accuracy. Because models emit unconstrained coordinates, we classify each prediction by the candidate region it falls within. Predictions fall outside both candidates on $60-92\%$ of items. Conditional on falling within a candidate region, target selection reaches 0.82-0.90 for horizontal position, vertical position, proximity, and list ordinal, but does not differ significantly from 0.50 for containment and occlusion: most failures reflect candidate localization rather than relation understanding. Across ten models, benchmark accuracy correlates with ScreenSpot-Pro accuracy (Spearman $\rho = +0.74$), an exploratory association at this sample size. Marking the two designated candidates raises selection accuracy by 35--57 percentage points, an oracle diagnostic that supplies the candidate set rather than a deployable method. We release the benchmark, predictions, and code.
