Abstract
Graph Transformers show immense potential in graph representation learning, yet adaptively capturing complex topological dependencies remains a critical challenge. This paper proposes AdaGPS, a novel adaptive architecture featuring three core improvements. First, the introduced GatEdgeformer module injects edge feature information through a dynamic gating mechanism, enhancing the global attention's perception of complex graph structures. Second, dynamically fusing local structure perception with global attention interaction effectively filters structural noise and accurately extracts long-range dependencies. Third, dynamically fusing historical representations from all previous layers enables the deep AdaGPS architecture to fully utilize rich positional and structural encodings preserved across preceding layers. Extensive experiments strongly demonstrate that the injection of edge features and historical information effectively improves model accuracy. Furthermore, the gated dynamic fusion of local and global features significantly enhances cross-domain generalization capability. Systematic ablations confirm robustness and stability, providing a highly expressive new paradigm for graph representation learning and potential computing power network applications.
This publication proposes a definition and a classification of agile software development approaches and analyses ten software development methods that can be characterized as being "agile" against the defined criterion.

The study shows that agile practices improve both informal and formal communication, but indicates that, in larger development situations involving multiple external stakeholders, a mismatch of adequate communication mechanisms can sometimes even hinder the communication.

For decades, a fundamental question about the difficulty of computing in high-dimensional spaces has resisted proof. New research resolves this question, removing a major theoretical obstacle to understanding the efficiency of randomized algorithms used across science and computing. The Kannan–Lovász–Simonovits (KLS) conjecture was proposed in 1995. It asks whether, for a broad class of high-dimensional […] The post Solving a 31-year-old grand challenge in mathematics – the KLS conjecture appear…
