2nd Workshop on Frontiers in Graph Machine Learning for the Large Model Era

Abstract

The "2nd Frontiers in Graph Machine Learning for the Large Model Era (GMLLM'26)" workshop focuses on advancing graph machine learning (GML) techniques in the context of large-scale foundation models. Graphs offer a principled way to represent structured and relational data, making them essential for capturing complex dependencies in knowledge, systems, and behaviors. As the scale and influence of foundation models grow, graph learning is well positioned to enhance model robustness, improve interpretability, and integrate domain-specific relational priors. This workshop explores how graph learning can support emerging challenges in knowledge reasoning, temporal and multi-hop inference, and AI systems. It also investigates how advances in representation learning, structure-aware generalization, and efficient graph processing can contribute to trustworthy and scalable AI systems. By convening experts in graph learning, knowledge management, and LLMs, the workshop aims to identify core challenges and opportunities of GML in the large model era.
