[ICLR 2022] The PyTorch implementation for "Graph Condensation for Graph Neural Networks" is provided under the main directory.

[KDD 2022] The implementation for "Condensing Graphs via One-Step Gradient Matching" is shown in the KDD22_DosCond directory. See link.

We propose and study the problem of graph condensation for graph neural networks (GNNs). Specifically, we aim to condense the large, original graph into a small, synthetic and highly-informative graph, such that GNNs trained on the small graph and large graph have comparable performance. Extensive experiments have demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed framework in condensing different graph datasets into informative smaller graphs. In particular, we are able to approximate the original test accuracy by 95.3% on Reddit, 99.8% on Flickr and 99.0% on Citeseer, while reducing their graph size by more than 99.9%, and the condensed graphs can be used to train various GNN architectures.

Please see requirements.txt.

torch==1.7.0
torch_geometric==1.6.3
scipy==1.6.2
numpy==1.19.2
ogb==1.3.0
tqdm==4.59.0
torch_sparse==0.6.9
deeprobust==0.2.4
scikit_learn==1.0.2

For cora, citeseer and pubmed, the code will directly download them; so no extra script is needed. For reddit, flickr and arxiv, we use the datasets provided by GraphSAINT. They are available on Google Drive link (alternatively, BaiduYun link (code: f1ao)). Rename the folder to data at the root directory. Note that the links are provided by GraphSAINT team.

For transductive setting, please run the following command:

python train_gcond_transduct.py --dataset cora --nlayers=2 --lr_feat=1e-4 --gpu_id=0  --lr_adj=1e-4 --r=0.5  

where r indicates the ratio of condensed samples to the labeled samples. For instance, there are only 140 labeled nodes in Cora dataset, so r=0.5 indicates the number of condensed samples are 70.

For inductive setting, please run the following command:

python train_gcond_induct.py --dataset flickr --nlayers=2 --lr_feat=0.01 --gpu_id=0  --lr_adj=0.01 --r=0.005 --epochs=1000  --outer=10 --inner=1

The generated graphs are saved in the folder saved_ours; you can directly load them to test the performance.

For Table 2, run bash scripts/run_main.sh.

For Table 3, run bash scripts/run_cross.sh.

From the KDD'22 paper "Condensing Graphs via One-Step Gradient Matching", we know that performing gradient matching for only one step can also achieve a good performance while significantly accelerating the condensation process. Hence, we can run the following command to perform one-step gradient matching, which is essentially much faster than the original version:

python train_gcond_transduct.py --dataset citeseer --nlayers=2 --lr_feat=1e-2 --lr_adj=1e-2 --r=0.5  --sgc=0 --dis=mse --gpu_id=2 --one_step=1  --epochs=3000

For more commands, please go to KDD22_DosCond.
