Graph Neural Networks papers, 2023–2026

Key findings

• Graph Neural Networks fell from 434 papers in 2023 to 183 in 2026, so interest is cooling.
• NeurIPS publishes the most Graph Neural Networks work: 489 papers from 2023 to 2026, 47% of the four-venue total.
• The fastest-growing overlap is with Datasets and Benchmarks: papers tagged with both rose from 10 in 2023 to 10 in 2026.
• Among the 5 topics under Graph and Structured Data, it ranks #4 by 2026 paper count; the fastest grower in the group, Time Series, is up 3.2x versus 0.4x here.
