Graph Convolutional Networks
This is a TensorFlow implementation of Graph Convolutional Networks for the task of (semi-supervised) classification of nodes in a graph, as described in our paper:
Thomas N. Kipf, Max Welling, Semi-Supervised Classification with Graph Convolutional Networks (2016)
For a high-level explanation, have a look at our blog post:
Thomas Kipf, Graph Convolutional Networks (2016)
Installation
python setup.py install
Requirements
- tensorflow (>0.10)
- networkx
Run the demo
python train.py
Data
In order to use your own data, you have to provide
- an N by N adjacency matrix (N is the number of nodes),
- an N by D feature matrix (D is the number of features per node), and
- a N by E binary label matrix (E is the number of classes).
Have a look at the load_data()
function in utils.py
for an example.
In this example, we load citation network data (Cora, Citeseer or Pubmed). The original datasets can be found here: http://linqs.cs.umd.edu/projects/projects/lbc/. In our version (see data
folder) we use dataset splits provided by https://github.com/kimiyoung/planetoid (Zhilin Yang, William W. Cohen, Ruslan Salakhutdinov, Revisiting Semi-Supervised Learning with Graph Embeddings, ICML 2016).
You can specify a dataset as follows:
python train.py --dataset citeseer
(or by editing train.py
)
Models
You can choose between the following models:
gcn
: Graph convolutional network (Thomas N. Kipf, Max Welling, Semi-Supervised Classification with Graph Convolutional Networks, 2016)gcn_cheb
: Chebyshev polynomial version of graph convolutional network as described in (Michaël Defferrard, Xavier Bresson, Pierre Vandergheynst, Convolutional Neural Networks on Graphs with Fast Localized Spectral Filtering, NIPS 2016)dense
: Basic multi-layer perceptron that supports sparse inputs
