Rethinking Graph Neural Architecture Search from Message-passing
Intro
The GNAS can automatically learn better architecture with the optimal depth of message passing on the graph. Specifically, we design Graph Neural Architecture Paradigm (GAP) with tree-topology computation procedure and two types of fine-grained atomic operations (feature filtering & neighbor aggregation) from message-passing mechanism to construct powerful graph network search space. Feature filtering performs adaptive feature selection, and neighbor aggregation captures structural information and calculates neighbors’ statistics. Experiments show that our GNAS can search for better GNNs with multiple message-passing mechanisms and optimal message-passing depth.
Getting Started
0. Prerequisites
- Linux
- NVIDIA GPU + CUDA CuDNN
1. Setup Python environment for GPU
# clone Github repo
conda install git
git clone https://github.com/phython96/GNAS-MP.git
cd GNAS-MP
# Install python environment
conda env create -f environment_gpu.yml
conda activate gnas
2. Download datasets
The datasets are provided by project benchmarking-gnns, you can click here to download all the required datasets.
3. Searching
We have provided scripts for easily searching graph neural networks on five datasets.
# searching on ZINC dataset at graph regression task
sh scripts/search_molecules_zinc.sh [gpu_id]
# searching on SBMs_PATTERN dataset at node classification task
sh scripts/search_sbms_pattern.sh [gpu_id]
# searching on SBMs_CLUSTER dataset at node classification task
sh scripts/search_sbms_cluster.sh [gpu_id]
# searching on MNIST dataset at graph classification task
sh scripts/search_superpixels_mnist.sh [gpu_id]
# searching on CIFAR10 dataset at graph classification task
sh scripts/search_superpixels_cifar10.sh [gpu_id]
When the search procedure is finished, you need to copy the searched genotypes from file "./save/[data_name]_search.txt" to "./configs/genotypes.py".
For example, we have searched on MNIST dataset, and obtain genotypes result file "./save/MNIST_search.txt".
