Guideline

Stage 1: Data

We provide 4 HIN benchmark datasets: DBLP, Yelp, Freebase, and PubMed.

Each dataset contains:

  • 3 data files (node.dat, link.dat, label.dat);
  • 2 evaluation files (link.dat.test, label.dat.test);
  • 2 description files (meta.dat, info.dat);
  • 1 recording file (record.dat).

Please refer to the Data folder for more details.

Stage 2: Transform

This stage transforms a dataset from its original format to the training input format.

Users need to specify the targeting dataset, the targeting model, and the training settings.

Please refer to the Transform folder for more details.

Stage 3: Model

We provide 11 HIN baseline implementaions:

  • 5 Proximity-Preserving Methods (metapath2vec-ESim, PTE, HIN2Vec, AspEm, HEER);
  • 3 Message-Passing Methods (R-GCN, HAN, HGT);
  • 3 Relation-Learning Methods (TransE, DistMult, ConvE).

Please refer to the Model folder for more details.

Stage 4: Evaluate

This stage evaluates the output embeddings based on specific tasks.

Users need to specify the targeting dataset, the targeting model, and the evaluation tasks.

Please refer to the Evaluate folder for more details.
