GNN-as-Judge: LLMs and GNNs Combined for Low-Resource Graph Learning

A new framework, GNN-as-Judge, aims to overcome LLM limitations in few-shot semi-supervised learning on Text-Attributed Graphs (TAGs) in low-resource settings. By incorporating the structural bias of GNNs, the system generates reliable pseudo-labels and mitigates noise during fine-tuning, significantly improving performance where labeled data is scarce. This innovation is crucial for optimizing model efficiency in resource-constrained scenarios.

OpenKedge: Governance and Safety for Autonomous AI Agents

OpenKedge is an innovative protocol addressing vulnerabilities in API-centric architectures when autonomous AI agents execute state mutations. Instead of immediate execution, OpenKedge proposes a governed process: actors submit declarative intent proposals, evaluated against system state and policy constraints. Approved intents become execution contracts with strict bounds. The protocol introduces a cryptographic evidence chain (IEEC) to ensure auditability and traceability, shifting safety from reactive to preventive. Evaluated in multi-agent scenarios and cloud infrastructure mutations, OpenKedge ensures high throughput and deterministic arbitration.
