Text-attributed graphs (TAGs) are prevalent on the web and research over TAGs such as citation networks, e-commerce networks and social networks has attracted considerable attention in the web community. Recently, large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated exceptional capabilities across a wide range of tasks. However, the existing works focus on harnessing the potential of LLMs solely relying on prompts to convey graph structure information to LLMs, thus suffering from insufficient understanding of the complex structural relationships within TAGs. To address this problem, in this paper we present the Disentangled Graph-Text Learner (DGTL) model, which is able to enhance the reasoning and predicting capabilities of LLMs for TAGs. Our proposed DGTL model incorporates graph structure information through tailored disentangled graph neural network (GNN) layers, enabling LLMs to capture the intricate relationships hidden in text-attributed graphs from multiple structural factors. Furthermore, DGTL operates with frozen pre-trained LLMs, reducing computational costs and allowing much more flexibility in combining with different LLM models. Experimental evaluations demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed DGTL model on achieving superior or comparable performance over state-of-the-art baselines. Additionally, we also demonstrate that our DGTL model can offer natural language explanations for predictions, thereby significantly enhancing model interpretability.

A new Department of Defense Inspector General report released Thursday finds more than 1 billion worth of weapons sent to Ukraine were not properly tracked by U.S. defense officials. The DOD IG has personnel stationed in Ukraine and is investigating with its Defense Criminal Investigative Service allegations of diversion of weapons. For now, the IG says, "It was beyond the scope of our evaluation to determine whether there has been diversion of such assistance." The weapons in question are small and include shoulder-fired missiles, one-way attack drones and night-vision devices. "From a monetary perspective, the delinquent serial numbers account for more than 1.005 billion of the total 1.699 billion (59 percent of the total value) of EEUM‑designated defense articles as of June 2, 2023," the report says.

"The enthusiasm for people to move out of the private sector - and presumably take quite a considerable pay cut - in order to work for the government on the next generation of AI is really tangible," he told the event.

The 2024 culture wars have begun in earnest, coalescing around the unexpected and extraordinarily messy topic of academic integrity. Last week, Harvard's president, Claudine Gay, resigned following accusations that she had plagiarized parts of her dissertation. Though Gay, Harvard's first Black president, admitted to copying text without attribution, she identified the accusations as part of an ideological campaign by right-wing political activists to "unravel public faith in pillars of American society." The allegations against Gay wouldn't be the last. The same week, Business Insider published a pair of articles reporting that Neri Oxman, a former professor at MIT, plagiarized some of her academic work.

Recent years have heralded a particularly disruptive period in human history. Against the backdrop of a warming planet and the spillover effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, we face some of the most challenging economic and geopolitical conditions in decades. And things may only deteriorate from here. These challenges are detailed at length in the World Economic Forum's Global Risks Report 2024, released this week. The report, based on the views of nearly 1,500 global risks experts, policy-makers, and industry leaders, finds that the world's top three risks over the next two years are false information, extreme weather, and societal polarization.

Iran announced Thursday that it has identified the alleged mastermind behind dual suicide bombing attacks that left nearly 100 people dead at a recent memorial for late Gen. Qassem Soleimani, who was killed years ago by a U.S. drone strike. The IRNA news agency carried a statement by the intelligence ministry saying the main suspect who planned the Jan. 3 attack in Kerman, a city southeast of the Iranian capital of Tehran, was a Tajik national known by his alias Abdollah Tajiki. Tajiki reportedly entered the country in mid-December by crossing Iran's southeast border, and left two days before the attack, after making the bombs. One bomber first detonated his explosives at the ceremony in Kerman, then another attacked 20 minutes later as emergency workers and other people tried to help the wounded from the first explosion, according to The Associated Press. The report identified one of the bombers by his family name of Bozrov, saying the man was 24 years old and had Tajik and Israeli nationality.

Rep. Cory Mills, R-Fla., sits down with'FOX & Friends Weekend' to discuss Ukraine funding, Biden's border policies and attacks on U.S. bases in the Middle East. The U.S. Embassy in Bogota, Colombia, is warning Americans traveling to the country not to use dating apps after eight "suspicious deaths" of private U.S. citizens. According to the embassy, the deaths -- potentially involuntary drug overdoes or suspected homicides -- took place in Medellin between November 1 and December 31, 2023. "Over the last year, the Embassy has seen an increase in reports of incidents involving the use of online dating applications to lure victims, typically foreigners, for robbery by force or using sedatives to drug and rob individuals," the embassy said. The Embassy said it regularly receives reports of such incidents occurring in major cities, like Medellin, Cartagena, and Bogota.

Harvard University offers a behemoth of courses that teach its students topics including "Queering Education," "Black Radicalism" and sexual fetishes. However, its course catalog – while offering many topics some would consider strongly critical of America – shows it does not offer significant courses focusing on American patriotism in depth despite taking in hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars every year. In 2021, Harvard received 625 million from American taxpayers, all the while the Ivy League boasts over 50 billion in its endowment. Some companies and prospective students are starting to question their interest in Harvard, particularly after scandals relating to alleged pervasive antisemitism and pro-Hamas sentiment on its campus – prompting legal action and a civil rights investigation from the U.S. Department of Education. Harvard's education department for prospective K-12 teachers elaborates on how one can bring queerness and transgenderism into schools.

During the middle of the 20th century, scientists and social theorists began to fear the problem of overpopulation, predicting a period of mass starvation. Famously, Stanford's Paul Ehrlich, in his 1968 book, "The Population Bomb" predicted "the battle to feed all of humanity is over...hundreds of millions of people will starve to death in spite of any crash programs embarked upon now." At the time, his pessimistic thinking was not isolated. Simultaneously, Norman Borlaug became a pioneer in wheat production with his work in genetics powering new ways to grow crops. His "Green Revolution" for which he received the 1970 Nobel Peace Prize, is credited with saving over a billion lives.

Lee made the announcement while standing in the middle of Nashville's famed RCA Studio A, a location where legends such as Dolly Parton, Willie Nelson and Charley Pride have all recorded. Packed inside were top music industry leaders, songwriters and lawmakers, all eager to praise the state's rich musical history while also sounding the alarm about the threats AI poses. "Tennessee will be the first state in the country to protect artists' voices with this legislation," Lee said. "And we hope it will be a blueprint for the country."
