Text-attributed Graph Condensation via Text Selection and Attribute Matching

arXiv:2606.03839v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Text-Attributed Graph (TAG) is an important type of graph structured data, where each node has a text description. TAG models usually train a Graph Neural Network (GNN) and language model jointly, which leads to high space and time consumption, especially on large datasets. To mitigate this, we propose TAGSAM, a condensation method that compresses TAGs while preserving training accuracy. TAGSAM comes with two key designs, i.e., subgraph text Selection and Attribute similarity Matching, which compress the text description and graph topology of TAG

Why this matters
