Concorde: Geometry-Aware Link Prediction via Decoupled Energy Minimization

arXiv:2610.36204v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Link prediction remains difficult in sparse graphs, where diffusion heuristics lack connectivity and geometric methods suffer spectral instability when coupling learned representations with diffusion operators. We introduce Concorde, an energy-based framework that resolves this by decomposing link likelihood into three structurally decoupled branches: (i) a parameter-free spectral anchor that establishes permutation-invariant topological stability; (ii) a mixed-curvature residual on a learnable $\mathbb{H}^{d_h}_{c_h} \times \mathbb{S}^{d_s}_{c_s}$ product manifold, regularized by a feature-aware Ollivier-Ricci curvature proxy; and (iii) a continuous vector field on the tangent bundle of hyperbolic space for non-local structural alignment…
