The proposed research on pre-training temporal graph neural networks across multiple networks has the potential to advance the field of machine learning and its applications significantly. By introducing methodologies to enhance the scalability and transferability of TGNNs, this work could revolutionize areas like network security, financial fraud detection, and real-time social network analysis, where dynamic and adaptive models are essential. The publicly available dataset of 84 Ethereum-based temporal networks will serve as a valuable resource for the research community, fostering innovation and collaboration. Furthermore, the principles of multi-network pre-training introduced here can inspire analogous advances in other temporal data domains, such as healthcare, transportation, and climate science. This research opens up a new direction in training generalizable temporal graph models that, for the first time, can be trained on distinct temporal networks, paving the way for Temporal Graph Foundation Models. This work also introduces a set of Ethereum transaction token networks, which are publicly available to users who have the necessary resources, such as fast SSDs, large RAM, and ample disk space, to synchronize Ethereum clients and manually extract blocks. Additionally, all Ethereum data is accessible on numerous Ethereum explorer sites such as etherscan.io. An Ethereum user's privacy depends on whether personally identifiable information (PII) is associated with any of their blockchain address, which serves as account handles and are considered pseudonymous. If such PII were obtained from other sources, our datasets could potentially be used to link Ethereum addresses. However, real-life identities can only be discovered using IP tracking information, which we neither have nor share. Our data does not contain any PII. Furthermore, we have developed a request to exclude an address from the dataset. Benchmark datasets have become fundamental for advancing graph machine learning, providing a common ground to evaluate models and facilitate the development of graph foundation models. Early graph ML studies often relied on a handful of small, static benchmark graphs (e.g., citation networks like Cora/Citeseer and molecular graphs from the TU collection [37]).


MiNT: Multi-Network Transfer Benchmark for Temporal Graph Learning

Neural Information Processing Systems

Temporal Graph Learning (TGL) aims to discover patterns in evolving networks or temporal graphs and leverage these patterns to predict future interactions. However, most existing research focuses on learning from a single network in isolation, leaving the challenges of within-domain and cross-domain generalization largely unaddressed. In this study, we introduce a new benchmark of 84 real-world temporal transaction networks and propose Temporal Multi-network Transfer (MiNT), a pre-training framework designed to capture transferable temporal dynamics across diverse networks. We train MiNT models on up to 64 transaction networks and evaluate their generalization ability on 20 held-out, unseen networks. Our results show that MiNT consistently outperforms individually trained models, revealing a strong relation between the number of pre-training networks and transfer performance. These findings highlight scaling trends in temporal graph learning and underscore the importance of network diversity in improving generalization. This work establishes the first large-scale benchmark for studying transferability in TGL and lays the groundwork for developing Temporal Graph Foundation Models.


TimeXL: Explainable Multi-modal Time Series Prediction with LLM-in-the-Loop

Neural Information Processing Systems

Time series analysis provides essential insights for real-world system dynamics and informs downstream decision-making, yet most existing methods often overlook the rich contextual signals present in auxiliary modalities. To bridge this gap, we introduce TimeXL, a multi-modal prediction framework that integrates a prototypebased time series encoder with three collaborating Large Language Models (LLMs) to deliver more accurate predictions and interpretable explanations. First, a multimodal prototype-based encoder processes both time series and textual inputs to generate preliminary forecasts alongside case-based rationales. These outputs then feed into a prediction LLM, which refines the forecasts by reasoning over the encoder's predictions and explanations. Next, a reflection LLM compares the predicted values against the ground truth, identifying textual inconsistencies or noise. Guided by this feedback, a refinement LLM iteratively enhances text quality and triggers encoder retraining. This closed-loop workflow--prediction, critique (reflect), and refinement--continuously boosts the framework's performance and interpretability. Empirical evaluations on four real-world datasets demonstrate that TimeXL achieves up to 8.9% improvement in AUC and produces human-centric, multi-modal explanations, highlighting the power of LLM-driven reasoning for time series prediction.



MolVision: Molecular Property Prediction with Vision Language Models

Neural Information Processing Systems

Molecular property prediction is a fundamental task in computational chemistry with critical applications in drug discovery and materials science. While recent works have explored Large Language Models (LLMs) for this task, they primarily rely on textual molecular representations such as SMILES/SELFIES, which can be ambiguous and structurally less informative. In this work, we introduce MolVision, a novel approach that leverages Vision-Language Models (VLMs) by integrating both molecular structure as images and textual descriptions to enhance property prediction. We construct a benchmark spanning ten diverse datasets, covering classification, regression and description tasks. Evaluating nine different VLMs in zero-shot, few-shot, and fine-tuned settings, we find that visual information improves prediction performance, particularly when combined with efficient fine-tuning strategies such as LoRA. Our results reveal that while visual information alone is insufficient, multimodal fusion significantly enhances generalization across molecular properties. Adaptation of vision encoder for molecular images in conjunction with LoRA further improves the performance.


The Ninja Slushi Is Only 200: Early Amazon Prime Day Deal 2026

WIRED

Two years after it turned Marg Monday into a daily affair, the Ninja Slushi is only $200. The Ninja Slushi changed my whole summer last year. It was the first home slushie machine to make bar-quality frozen drinks accessible to the American kitchen, back patio, and pool party . And so last year became the summer of daiquiris. Either way, the Slushi offers something that feels increasingly rare in these times: carefree adult fun.


OpenAI Launches Full-Scale Effort to Patch Open-Source Bugs as It Takes on Anthropic's Mythos

WIRED

OpenAI Launches Full-Scale Effort to Patch Open-Source Bugs as It Takes on Anthropic's Mythos Amid concerns about AI models' cybersecurity capabilities, OpenAI revealed an improved version of GPT-5.5-Cyber and its "Patch the Planet" initiative to fix open-source software bugs. As fears about AI hacking capabilities grow, OpenAI on Monday made a slew of cybersecurity-focused announcements, including an improved version of its limited-access security-specialized model GPT-5.5-Cyber, As advances across the AI industry leave critical open-source projects at increasing risk of falling behind, though, the company also said on Monday that it is launching an effort known as Patch the Planet, founded with the prominent research-focused security firm Trail of Bits and in collaboration with vulnerability management firms HackerOne and Calif. The project has already begun its work offering free security consulting services to open source maintainers to not only help them find and patch vulnerabilities, but also support them in strengthening their code bases and incorporating AI security tools into their development process. The idea is to give individualized support to as many open-source projects as possible to improve both their current security and long-term resilience in a way that will actually be sustainable.


Tracking Any Point in Persistent 3D Geometry

Neural Information Processing Systems

We introduce TAPIP3D, a novel approach for long-term 3D point tracking in monocular RGB and RGB-D videos. TAPIP3D represents videos as camerastabilized spatio-temporal feature clouds, leveraging depth and camera motion information to lift 2D video features into a 3D world space where camera movement is effectively canceled out. Within this stabilized 3D representation, TAPIP3D iteratively refines multi-frame motion estimates, enabling robust point tracking over long time horizons.

Neural Information Processing Systems

Estimating associations between spatial covariates and responses -- rather than merely predicting responses -- is central to environmental science, epidemiology, and economics. For instance, public health officials might be interested in whether air pollution has a strictly positive association with a health outcome, and the magnitude of any effect. Standard machine learning methods often provide accurate predictions but offer limited insight into covariate-response relationships. And we show that existing methods for constructing confidence (or credible) intervals for associations can fail to provide nominal coverage in the face of model misspecification and nonrandom locations -- despite both being essentially always present in spatial problems. We introduce a method that constructs valid frequentist confidence intervals for associations in spatial settings. Our method requires minimal assumptions beyond a form of spatial smoothness and a homoskedastic Gaussian error assumption. In particular, we do not require model correctness or covariate overlap between training and target locations. Our approach is the first to guarantee nominal coverage in this setting and outperforms existing techniques in both real and simulated experiments. Our confidence intervals are valid in finite samples when the noise of the Gaussian error is known, and we provide an asymptotically consistent estimation procedure for this noise variance when it is unknown.
