A Generalization of Transformer Networks to Graphs

Transformers That Finally Understand Networks

This is a new way to make a transformer work on any kind of network or map of things.
Instead of pretending every item sees every other item, it looks at the stuff that actually connects to each node, so the model focus on the right parts.
It uses a fresh method to mark where nodes sit inside the network — like simple position markers — so the order and shape of the network matters now.
The model also swaps one training trick for another so learning is faster and it generalize better across tasks; training runs quicker and the results are more stable, you may notice.
It can also read data on the links between nodes, so details like chemical bonds or relationships are kept and used.
Tests on common network problems show this idea works well, and it close the gap between old transformers and graph tools.
It feel ready to be dropped into many apps that need both memory of connections and the power of modern models.
