Is One Token All It Takes? Graph Pooling Tokens for LLM-based GraphQA

ArXi:2604.00342v1 Announce Type: new The integration of Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) with Large Language Models (LLMs) has emerged as a promising paradigm for Graph Question Answering (GraphQA). However, effective methods for encoding complex structural information into the LLM's latent space remain an open challenge. Current state-of-the-art architectures, such as G-Retriever, typically rely on standard GNNs and aggressive mean pooling to compress entire graph substructures into a single token, creating a severe information bottleneck.
