GFMate: Empowering Graph Foundation Models with Test-time Prompt Tuning

arXiv:2605.14809v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Graph prompt tuning has shown great potential in graph learning by introducing trainable prompts to enhance the model performance in conventional single-domain scenarios. Recent research has extended graph prompts to improve Graph Foundation Models (GFMs) by few-shot tuning auxiliary prompts. Despite their progress, most existing methods embed source-domain information into prompts, which serve either as input to GFMs or encoded during model pre-training. Such prompt entanglement with specific source domains and GFM pre-training strategy rest

Why this matters
Why now

The continuous development and refinement of Graph Foundation Models necessitate specialized techniques like prompt tuning to enhance their adaptability and performance across diverse tasks and domains.

Why it’s important

This development addresses a key limitation in current Graph Foundation Models by improving their adaptability and reducing reliance on source-domain specific information, which is critical for their broader application and efficiency.

What changes

Graph Foundation Models (GFMs) may become more versatile and efficient by decoupling prompt engineering from specific pre-training strategies, enabling better generalization and reducing the cost of fine-tuning for new applications.
