TaLK: Text-attributed Graph Dataset Distillation via Coupling Language Model with Graph-Aware Kernel
Text-attributed graphs (TAGs) are widely used in many real-world domains, and learning on TAGs requires jointly modeling text semantics and graph structure. A standard approach for modeling TAGs is to combine a language model (LM) and a graph neural network (GNN), but joint training is computationally expensive and difficult to scale. Dataset distillation is a promising way to reduce training costs, but existing methods are not well suited to TAGs because they are typically designed for a single modality or still require repeatedly training expensive LM-GNN models on the full dataset during distillation. To address this, we propose TaLK, an effective dataset distillation method for TAGs t...
