Knowledge Graph and Hypergraph Transformers with Repository-Attention and Journey-Based Role Transport
arXiv:2603.03304v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We present a concise architecture for joint training on sentences and structured data while keeping knowledge and language representations separable. The model treats knowledge graphs and hypergraphs as structured instances with role slots and encodes them into a key-value repository that a language transformer can attend over. Attention is conditioned by journey-based role transport, which unifies edge-labeled KG traversal, hyperedge traversal, and sentence structure. We outline a dual-stream architecture, hierarchical layer groups with instance-local, neighborhood, and global mixing attention, retrieval over a separate repository, and multi-task objectives spanning masked language modeling, link prediction, and role-consistency denoising. The result is an explicit, inspectable separation between linguistic context and structured knowledge, while still enabling tight alignment through cross-attention.
