Advancing Graph Few-Shot Learning via In-Context Learning
arXiv:2605.24410v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Graph few-shot learning, which aims to classify nodes from novel classes with only a few labeled examples, is a widely studied problem in graph learning. However, existing methods often face two key limitations. First, the predominant graph few-shot learning paradigm relies on supervised tasks, failing to leverage the vast number of unlabeled nodes in the graph. Second, many approaches require complex task adaptation or fine-tuning during inferenc

ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: Liver hepatocellular carcinoma (LIHC) is a common malignancy, yet the core genes driving its progression and potential therapeutic targets remain insufficiently explored. Ribosome biogenesis (RB) is a critical biological process linked to various cancers; however, its systematic role in LIHC remains unclear.
METHODS: This study integrated LIHC single-cell RNA-Seq, bulk RNA-Seq, and spatial transcriptomic data with ribosome biogenesis-related gene sets to construct a single-cell atlas of LIHC. Weighted Gene Co-expression Network Analysis (WGCNA) was employed to characterize myeloid cell subsets. Furthermore, an LIHC prognostic risk model based on RB-related genes was developed using 117 machine-learning algorithm combinations. Key findings were subsequently corroborated through experimental validation and clinical sample analysis.
RESULTS: We identified a distinct macrophage subpopulation with high ribosome biogenesis activity, termed ribosome biogenesis-active macrophages (RAMs). These cells exhibited strong communication with inflammatory macrophages, potentially mediated by MIF-related receptor-ligand interactions. We further constructed an 8-gene prognostic model (PA2G4, GNL2, PWP1, DDX49, NOC4L, GDI2, CST7, and RCL1), which showed good predictive performance. Drug sensitivity analysis suggested that the high-risk group may be more responsive to several agents, including docetaxel. Among these genes, GNL2 was selected for further investigation. Elevated GNL2 expression was associated with increased stemness features in myeloid cells. Molecular docking analysis identified several candidate compounds with potential binding affinity to GNL2. Functionally, GNL2 knockdown in macrophages reduced TGF-Ξ² and TNF-Ξ± expression and was associated with decreased proliferation, migration, and invasion of LIHC cells.
CONCLUSION: We identified a highly active ribosome biogenesis-macrophage subpopulation (RAM), and constructed a robust risk model to aid in the diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of LIHC. GNL2 is associated with increased expression of TGF-Ξ² and TNF-Ξ± and may contribute to LIHC progression.

Exploring Partial Multi-Label Learning via Integrating Semantic Co-occurrence Knowledge
arXiv:2507.05992v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Partial multi-label learning aims to extract knowledge from incompletely annotated data, which includes known correct labels, known incorrect labels, and unknown labels. The core challenge lies in accurately identifying the ambiguous relationships between labels and instances. In this paper, we emphasize that matching co-occurrence patterns between labels and instances is key to addressing this challenge. To this end, we propose Semantic
