Graph Cascades: Contagion-Based Mesoscopic Rewiring for Structure-Aware Graph Machine Learning

arXiv:2606.05046v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We introduce Graph Cascades, a mesoscopic rewiring strategy for Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) and Graph Transformers (GTs) that captures intermediate-scale graph structure beyond purely local edges or fully global attention. Using contagion-based diffusion processes, Graph Cascades constructs, in O(|V|+|E|) time, an auxiliary graph where node pairs supported by repeated multi-hop reinforcement are promoted to direct neighbors. We theoretically characterize when reinforcement-based rewiring helps: sufficient conditions under which reinforcement-bas
