Earlier LLM–GNN combinations mostly handled standard classification or toy queries on small synthetic graphs. The authors assemble a GraphQA benchmark from three sources: ExplaGraphs (commonsense reasoning), SceneGraphs… 2. **[Harnessing Explanations: LLM-to-LM Interpreter for Enhanced Text-Attributed Graph Representation Learning](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/he-2023-harnessing-explanations-llm-lm-interpreter/)** *(2023 · 75 citations)* Text-attributed graphs (TAGs), such as citation networks where each node carries a title and abstract, are usually handled by GNNs fed with shallow text features (bag-of-words, skip-gram) or by heavy LM+GNN pipelines that need logits or embeddings, which commercial LLMs do not expose. ## Co-authors here 6 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Bryan Hooi](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/bryan-hooi/) ×2 - [Xavier Bresson](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/xavier-bresson/) ×2 - [Xiaoxin He](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/xiaoxin-he/) ×2 - [Yann LeCun](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/yann-lecun/) ×2 - [Nitesh V.
