A Query Language Perspective on Graph Learning
Summary: Frames graph/relational representation learning as a query language mapping structures to vectors, unifying GNNs and relational encoders. Recasts expressive-power (distinguishability, approximation) results via this lens and outlines DB-centric research connecting query theory with graph ML. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
