This is the code for the paper titled Optimization and Generalization Analysis of Transduction through Gradient Boosting and Application to Multi-scale Graph Neural Networks (arXiv).

Dependency

networkx==2.1
numpy==1.15.1
optuna==1.3.0
pytorch-ignite==0.3.0
scipy==1.1.0
torch==1.5.0
pytest==5.0.1 (for testing)

Preparation

Place https://github.com/tkipf/gcn/tree/master/gcn/data as lib/dataset/data/kipf/ (e.g., gcn/data/ind.citeseer.allx should be copied to lib/dataset/data/kipf/ind.citeseer.allx.)

Testing

Unit test

PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:. pytest test/

Small experiment test (run on GPU device 0)

bash test.sh

Usage

Commands

GB-GNN-Adj

bash run.sh --device <gpu_id> --dataset <dataset> --min-layer <L_min> --max-layer <L_max> --aggregation-model adj

GB-GNN-Adj + Fine Tuning

bash run.sh --device <gpu_id> --dataset <dataset> --min-layer <L_min> --max-layer <L_max> --aggregation-model adj --fine-tune

GB-GNN-KTA

bash run.sh --device <gpu_id> --dataset <dataset> --min-layer <L_min> --max-layer <L_max> --aggregation-model kta

GB-GNN-KTA + Fine Tuning

bash run.sh --device <gpu_id> --dataset <dataset> --min-layer <L_min> --max-layer <L_max> [--n-weak-learners 40] --aggregation-model kta --fine-tune

We set the maximum number of weak learners to 40, as opposed to the default value 100 due to memory constraints in the main paper. To reproduce it, we should set --n-weak-learners 40.

GB-GNN-II

bash run.sh --device <gpu_id> --dataset <dataset> --min-layer <L_min> --max-layer <L_max> --aggregation-model ii

GB-GNN-II + Fine Tuning

bash run.sh --device <gpu_id> --dataset <dataset> --min-layer <L_min> --max-layer <L_max> --aggregation-model ii --fine-tune

Option

<gpu_id>: GPU ID in use. If we use -1, the code runs on CPU
<dataset>: Dataset type. Either cora, citeseer, or pubmed values are allowed.
<L_min>, <L_max>: The minimum and maximum number of hidden layer size of the hyperparameter optimization search space. If we want to fix the hidden layer size to L, use L_min=L_max=L.

Output

It creates the output directory whose name is the execution time of the form YYMMDD_HHMMSS. The directory has the following files (not a comprehensive list).

acc.json: The accuracies on training, validation, and test datasets.
loss/: The transition of loss values of the best hyperparameter set on training (train.npy), validation (validation.npy), and test (test.npy) datasets
cosine.npy: The transition of cosine values between weak learners and negative gradient on the training dataset.
best_params.json: Chosen hyperparameters.

Accuracies, loss values, and cosine values are for the model with the best hyperparameter set.

Directory Structures

app: Experiment execution scripts
lib: Implementation of models and their training and evaluation procedures.
analysis: Notebooks for post processing experiment results.
test: Unit test code
