Our work on a new graph generative model G2PT is just accepted by ICML. The work opens up a new direction in graph generation by using token sequences. Now graph generation begins to align with image and language generation! Is the transformer taking over everything?

Even if AR has superior results on texts, diffusion/flows have been dominating graph generative models.

In this paper, we revisit how to build AR from decoder-only GPT for graph generation.

✨✨✨ The key is tokenization…

📢📢📢 Happy to introduce Graph Generative Pre-trained Transformers (G2PT):

Can we tokenize graphs and train an autoregressive (AR) model with generative pre-trained transformers to generate graphs?

A new work led by @XiaohuiC16528, @YinkaiW, @jacksonleihao.

Excited to share that my group got the following papers accepted this month, 2 by Oakland'23, 2 by ICCV'23, 1 by ICCAD'23, and 1 by MICRO'23!

I am very happy to attend these premier conferences (if time/VISA allow), share our latest research with, and learn from others! :)
