Clustering as Reasoning: A k-Means Interpretation of Chain-of-Thought Graph Learning
International Conference on Machine Learning (ICML), 2026.
Connecting graph reasoning with clustering through a k-means interpretation of Transformer operations.
I am a Ph.D. candidate in Computer Science and Technology at the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (UESTC), advised by Prof. Zhao Kang and Prof. Wenyu Chen.
My research focuses on graph representation learning, especially unsupervised graph clustering, homophily and heterophily, and spectral filtering. I am also interested in graph foundation models and large language models, with an emphasis on transferable representations and interpretable reasoning over graphs.
From 2025 to 2026, I was a CSC-supported visiting Ph.D. student at Singapore Management University, working with Prof. Yuan Fang. I received my B.Eng. in Software Engineering and M.Sc. in Computer Science and Technology from UESTC.
