End-to-End Subgraph Detection with GraphDETR

arXiv:2606.06364v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Subgraph detection seeks to identify whether and where instances of query patterns occur within a larger graph. This problem is fundamental across scientific domains and is closely related to subgraph isomorphism, which is NP-complete, limiting combinatorial approaches to small patterns or moderately sized graphs. We introduce GraphDETR, a deep learning framework that formulates subgraph detection as a set prediction problem, analogous to DETR in object detection. GraphDETR encodes the target graph with a graph neural network, and employs a fixed
