TGFormer: Towards Temporal Graph Transformer with Auto-Correlation Mechanism

arXiv:2605.24971v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The growing interest in Temporal Graph Neural Networks (TGNNs) stems from their ability to model complex dynamics and deliver superior performance. However, TGNNs encounter fundamental challenges in capturing long-term dependencies and identifying periodic patterns. To address these limitations, we propose TGFormer, a novel Transformer architecture specifically designed for temporal graphs. Our model redefines temporal graph learning by establishing a trajectory framework that aligns with time series analysis principles. This approach allows TGFormer to derive node representations through systematic analysis of historical interactions, enabling granular examination of node relationships across sequential timestamps. Building upon stochastic process theory, we develop an auto-correlation mechanism that systematically uncovers periodic dependencies in node interactions. This innovation empowers TGFormer to perform dependency discovery and representation aggregation at sub-interaction levels, demonstrating superior efficiency and accuracy compared to conventional attention mechanisms. Experimental validation across six public benchmarks confirms the effectiveness of our approach, with TGFormer at most achieving 9.35\% precision improvement compared to state-of-the-art approaches.

CVEvolve: Autonomous Algorithm Discovery for Unstructured Scientific Data Processing

arXiv:2605.11359v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Scientific data processing often requires task-specific algorithms or AI models, creating a barrier for domain scientists who need to analyze their data but may not have extensive computing or image-processing expertise. This barrier is especially pronounced when data are noisy, have a high dynamic range, are sparsely labeled, or are only loosely specified. We introduce CVEvolve, an autonomous agentic harness with a zero-code interface for scientific data-processing algorithm discovery. CVEvolve combines a multi-round search strategy with tools for code execution, evaluation implementation, history management, holdout testing, and optional inspection of scientific data and visual outputs. The search alternates between discovery and improvement actions, and uses lineage-aware stochastic candidate sampling to balance exploration and exploitation. We demonstrate CVEvolve on x-ray fluorescence microscopy image registration, Bragg peak detection, and high-energy diffraction microscopy image segmentation. Across these tasks, CVEvolve discovers algorithms that improve over baseline methods, while holdout test tracking helps identify candidates that generalize better than later over-optimized alternatives. These results show that zero-code, autonomous LLM-powered algorithm development can help domain scientists turn unstructured scientific image data into practical algorithms and downstream scientific discoveries.
