The evolving nature of temporal dynamic graphs requires handling new nodes as well as capturing temporal patterns. The node embeddings, as functions of time, should represent both the static node features and the evolving topological structures.
We propose the temporal graph attention (TGAT) layer to efficiently aggregate temporal-topological neighborhood features as well as to learn the time-feature interactions. Stacking TGAT layers, the network recognizes the node embeddings as functions of time and is able to inductively infer embeddings for both new and observed nodes as the graph evolves.
The proposed approach handles both node classification and link prediction task, and can be naturally extended to include the temporal edge features.
The theoretical arguments developed in this paper are from our concurrent work: Self-attention with Functional Time Representation Learning (NeurIPS 2019). The implementation is also available at the github page.
We use the dense npy
format to save the features in binary format. If edge features or nodes features are absent, it will be replaced by a vector of zeros.
python process.py
Put your data under processed
folder. The required input data includes ml_${DATA_NAME}.csv
, ml_${DATA_NAME}.npy
and ml_${DATA_NAME}_node.npy
. They store the edge linkages, edge features and node features respectively.
The CSV
file has following columns
u, i, ts, label, idx
, which represents source node index, target node index, time stamp, edge label and the edge index.
ml_${DATA_NAME}.npy
has shape of [#temporal edges + 1, edge features dimention]. Similarly, ml_${DATA_NAME}_node.npy
has shape of [#nodes + 1, node features dimension].
All node index starts from 1
. The zero index is reserved for null
during padding operations. So the maximum of node index equals to the total number of nodes. Similarly, maxinum of edge index equals to the total number of temporal edges. The padding embeddings or the null embeddings is a vector of zeros.

- Learning the down-stream task (node-classification)
Node-classification task reuses the network trained previously. Make sure the prefix
is the same so that the checkpoint can be found under saved_models
.
