Despite the plethora of different models for deep learning on graphs, few approaches have been proposed thus far for dealing with graphs that present some sort of dynamic nature (e.g. evolving features or connectivity over time).
In this paper, we present Temporal Graph Networks (TGNs), a generic, efficient framework for deep learning on dynamic graphs represented as sequences of timed events. Thanks to a novel combination of memory modules and graph-based operators, TGNs are able to significantly outperform previous approaches being at the same time more computationally efficient.
We furthermore show that several previous models for learning on dynamic graphs can be cast as specific instances of our framework. We perform a detailed ablation study of different components of our framework and devise the best configuration that achieves state-of-the-art performance on several transductive and inductive prediction tasks for dynamic graphs.
Dependencies (with python >= 3.7):
pandas==1.1.0
torch==1.6.0
scikit_learn==0.23.1
Download the sample datasets (eg. wikipedia and reddit) from
here and store their csv files in a folder named
data/.
We use the dense npy format to save the features in binary format. If edge features or nodes
features are absent, they will be replaced by a vector of zeros.

- Make code memory efficient: for the sake of simplicity, the memory module of the TGN model is implemented as a parameter (so that it is stored and loaded together of the model). However, this does not need to be the case, and more efficient implementations which treat the models as just tensors (in the same way as the input features) would be more amenable to large graphs.
