Keras Graph Attention Network

DEPRECATED
This implementation of GAT is no longer actively maintained and may not work with modern versions of Tensorflow and Keras. Check out Spektral and its GAT example for a Tensorflow/Keras implementation of GAT.

This is a Keras implementation of the Graph Attention Network (GAT) model by Veličković et al. (2017, [arXiv link]).

Acknowledgements

I have no affiliation with the authors of the paper and I am implementing this code for non-commercial reasons.
The authors published their reference Tensorflow implementation here, so check it out for something that is guaranteed to work as intended. Their implementation is slightly different than mine, so that may be something to keep in mind. You should cite the paper if you use any of this code for your research:

I also copied the code in utils.py almost verbatim from this repo by Thomas Kipf, who I thank sincerely for sharing his work on GCNs and GAEs, and for giving me a few pointers on how to split the data into train/test/val sets.

Thanks to mawright, matthias-samwald, and vermaMachineLearning for helping me out with bugs, performance improvements, and running experiments.
