Train Small, Deploy Large: Zero-Shot GNN Transfer Through Geometric Renormalization

תקציר מקורי באנגליתarXiv:2607.27767v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Graph neural networks (GNNs) can operate on large graphs but become infrastructure-sensitive at the scale of millions of nodes and typically require scalable training techniques for even larger graphs. This raises a central question: when can a model trained on a smaller, scaled-down replica of a graph be deployed on the full-resolution graph without retraining? We introduce a zero-shot transfer protocol in which a GNN is trained on a graph coarse-grained by geometric renormalization (GR), and the resulting weights are transferred directly to the original network. Across synthetic and real-world networks, training on GR scaled-down replicas preserves much of the original-scale predictive performance while significantly reducing training cost.
