arXiv:2605.24867v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Chain-of-Thought (CoT) prompting has shown promise in enhancing the reasoning capabilities of large language models (LLMs) on text-attributed graphs (TAGs). This work reframes CoT-based graph learning through the principle of clustering as reasoning, offering a $k$-means interpretation of how iterative reasoning operates over graph-structured data. We observe that existing graph CoT methods rely on disjoint architectures and fixed graph representations, limiting step-by-step semantic-topological interaction and interpretability. To overcome thi
The rapid advancement in large language models and their application to complex reasoning tasks on graph-structured data is driving ongoing research into improving their interpretability and capabilities.
This work offers a novel $k$-means interpretation of Chain-of-Thought reasoning on graphs, potentially enhancing the explainability and effectiveness of AI systems in processing complex, interconnected data.
The understanding and development of graph-based CoT methods could shift towards more integrated and interpretable architectures, moving beyond disjoint models and fixed representations.
