Complex-Path: Effective and Efficient Node Ranking with Paths in Billion-Scale Heterogeneous Graphs
Summary: CompNode introduces Complex-path, a unified schema for nonlinear conditional paths plus pre-aggregation to drastically reduce HGNN memory and sampling costs. Fusing aggregated complex-path semantics greatly improves node ranking (+20% AP vs SOTA HGNNs; +252% success rate vs a graph-database baseline). (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
