• As pointed out by #23, there was a subtle bug in our preprocessing code for the reddit dataset. After fixing this bug, SGC achieves a F1 score of 95.0 (previously, it was 94.9).
• Practical advice: it is often very helpful to normalize the features to have zero mean with standard deviation one to accelerate the convergence of SGC (and many other linear models). For example, we apply this normalization for the reddit dataset. Please consider doing this when applying SGC to other datasets. For some relevant discussions, see Ross et al, 2013 and Li and Zhang, 1998.

*: Equal Contribution

This repo contains an example implementation of the Simple Graph Convolution (SGC) model, described in the ICML2019 paper Simplifying Graph Convolutional Networks.

SGC removes the nonlinearities and collapes the weight matrices in Graph Convolutional Networks (GCNs) and is essentially a linear model. For an illustration,

SGC achieves competitive performance while saving much training time. For reference, on a GTX 1080 Ti,

This home repo contains the implementation for citation networks (Cora, Citeseer, and Pubmed) and social network (Reddit). We have a work-in-progress branch ablation, containing additional codebase for our ablation studies.

Other reference implementations can be found in the follwing libraries. Note that in these examples, the hyperparameters are potentially different and the results would be different from the paper reported ones.

• Deep Graph Library: example.
• PyTorch Geometric: documentation and example.
• Spektral: example
• StellarGraph: example
• tf_geometric: example

Our implementation works with PyTorch>=1.0.0 Install other dependencies: $ pip install -r requirement.txt

We provide the citation network datasets under data/, which corresponds to the public data splits. Due to space limit, please download reddit dataset from FastGCN and put reddit_adj.npz, reddit.npz under data/.

Citation Networks: We tune the only hyperparameter, weight decay, with hyperopt and put the resulting hyperparameter under SGC-tuning. See tuning.py for more details on hyperparameter optimization.

$ python citation.py --dataset cora --tuned
$ python citation.py --dataset citeseer --tuned --epochs 150 
$ python citation.py --dataset pubmed --tuned

Reddit:

$ python reddit.py --inductive --test

We collect the code base for downstream tasks under downstream. Currently, we are releasing only SGC implementation for text classification.

This repo is modified from pygcn, and FastGCN.
