HyperIntent: Tracking Intent Shifts for Efficient Reasoning on Dynamic Textual Graphs
Yilin Yao, Bin Lu, Xinhui Li, Meng Jin, Xinbing Wang
Dynamic web interactions continuously evolve as new edges arrive, offering large language models (LLMs) great potential for reasoning over edge-level temporal semantics. However, continuously arriving edges are often repetitive, obscuring the key structures that truly reflect temporal changes and limiting the efficiency of LLMs. A key insight is that beneath the dense stream of edge arrivals lies a sparse evolution of temporal intent, enabling LLMs to be responsively triggered only when such intent shifts, while otherwise inheriting the previous state. To this end, we propose a hypergraph-based framework named HyperIntent, which enhances dynamic graph reasoning by parsing differentiated intents, quantifying their temporal discrepancies, and performing shift-triggered semantic updating. Experimental results on destination node retrieval and future link prediction demonstrate that HyperIntent consistently achieves the best overall performance, with average relative Hits@1 gains of 34.0% and 25.4% over vanilla TGAT and DyGFormer, respectively. Meanwhile, HyperIntent reduces LLM token consumption by 54.4%-95.9% across six datasets while achieving leading predictive performance. In-depth studies further confirm the necessity of shift triggering for identifying structural and semantic temporal changes. The code will be made publicly available upon completion of the review process.
