MixHop and N-GCN

⠀

A PyTorch implementation of "MixHop: Higher-Order Graph Convolutional Architectures via Sparsified Neighborhood Mixing" (ICML 2019) and "A Higher-Order Graph Convolutional Layer" (NeurIPS 2018).

Abstract

Recent methods generalize convolutional layers from Euclidean domains to graph-structured data by approximating the eigenbasis of the graph Laplacian. The computationally-efficient and broadly-used Graph ConvNet of Kipf & Welling, over-simplifies the approximation, effectively rendering graph convolution as a neighborhood-averaging operator. This simplification restricts the model from learning delta operators, the very premise of the graph Laplacian. In this work, we propose a new Graph Convolutional layer which mixes multiple powers of the adjacency matrix, allowing it to learn delta operators. Our layer exhibits the same memory footprint and computational complexity as a GCN. We illustrate the strength of our proposed layer on both synthetic graph datasets, and on several real-world citation graphs, setting the record state-of-the-art on Pubmed.

This repository provides a PyTorch implementation of MixHop and N-GCN as described in the papers:

Requirements

The codebase is implemented in Python 3.5.2. package versions used for development are just below.

networkx          2.4
tqdm              4.28.1
numpy             1.15.4
pandas            0.23.4
texttable         1.5.0
scipy             1.1.0
argparse          1.1.0
torch             1.1.0
torch-sparse      0.3.0

Datasets

The code takes the **edge list** of the graph in a csv file. Every row indicates an edge between two nodes separated by a comma. The first row is a header. Nodes should be indexed starting with 0. A sample graph for `Cora` is included in the `input/` directory. In addition to the edgelist there is a JSON file with the sparse features and a csv with the target variable. The **feature matrix** is a sparse binary one it is stored as a json. Nodes are keys of the json and feature indices are the values. For each node feature column ids are stored as elements of a list. The feature matrix is structured as:

{ 0: [0, 1, 38, 1968, 2000, 52727],
  1: [10000, 20, 3],
  2: [],
  ...
  n: [2018, 10000]}

The **target vector** is a csv with two columns and headers, the first contains the node identifiers the second the targets. This csv is sorted by node identifiers and the target column contains the class meberships indexed from zero.

NODE ID	Target
0	3
1	1
2	0
3	1
...	...
n	3
