A Living Leaderboard for Graph Machine Learning

Graph machine learning benchmarking results are scattered across papers that use quite different sets of datasets and baseline methods, making it difficult to tell whether a reported gain reflects architectural progress or merely an outdated comparison or weakly tuned baseline. We introduce a living, graph-learning-specific leaderboard that organizes reported results by dataset, putting new results into context. As of 15 October 2026 our LLM-based extraction pipeline extracted 27,723 eligible results across 111 datasets from 885 peer-reviewed papers. Our analysis of these results quantifies concerns about graph-learning benchmarking: legacy datasets are still actively used and many result tables contain baseline results that are drastically lower than those already available in the literature, e.g. 45% Amazon-ratings tables and 37% for Peptides-struct. The leaderboard allows to quickly compare new results against compatible prior results, aiming to improve the overall quality of graph learning benchmarking.
