GraphICL: Unlocking Graph Learning Potential in LLMs through Structured Prompt Design

Yuanfu Sun*, Zhengnan Ma*, Yi Fang, Jing Ma, Qiaoyu Tan (* equal contribution)

NAACL 2025

A benchmark of structured prompt templates for evaluating LLMs on text-attributed graphs; general-purpose LLMs with GraphICL outperform specialized graph LLMs and GNNs in resource-constrained and out-of-domain settings.
