Dependencies

• python>=3.7
• torch==2.0.1
• torch-geometric==2.3.1
• torch-scatter==2.1.1
• numpy==1.24.4

Datasets

We conduct experiments on three widely used real-world datasets, namely German Credit, Bail, and Credit Defaulter. The detailed information of the datasets is as follows. Please unzip datasets in ./dataset before running the model.

Dataset	German	Bail	Credit
# Nodes	1,000	18,876	30,000
# Edges	22,242	321,308	152,377
# Attributes	27	18	13
Sens.	Gender	Race	Age
Label	Credit status	Bail decision	Future default

Running

The run.sh includes details to reproduce experimental results in the paper:
