File Overview

1. mixhop_model.py: Contaits our mixhop layer and model architecture. Use this file if you want to try our model on different datasets [e.g. not citation datasets of planetoid]. You can invoke our layer alone or our entire architecture. The architecture can be saved to disk (as JSON) and loaded later.
2. mixhop_dataset.py: This reads the planetoid datasets.
3. mixhop_trainer.py: End-to-end training and evaluation over the planetoid datasets. You probably want to start by invoking/modifying the shell scripts directly (e.g. train_cora.sh).
4. ngcn_trainer.py: Same as above, but trains the NGCN model. It utilizes the files above, as NGCN can be treated as a special-case of MixHop.

How to use mixhop_trainer.py

This implementation relies on the datasets of planetoid living on your machine. Unless you override the flag --dataset_dir in mixhop_trainer, code expects that planetoid repo is cloned on ~/data. To clone it, you can run:

# Line clones plenetoid if it does not exist.
mkdir -p ~/data && cd ~/data && ls planetoid || git clone git@github.com:kimiyoung/planetoid.git

Then, we advise you to run the shell script which have good hyper-parameter values:

### MixHop (ICML'19) training scripts
# Cora:
bash train_cora.sh  # Model in paper

# Citeseer:
bash train_citeseer.sh  # Model in paper

# Pubmed
bash train_pubmed_2layer_psum.sh  # Model in paper

# Pubmed fully-connected output layer.
bash train_pubmed_3layer_fc.sh  # Model not in paper

### NGCN (UAI'19) training scripts
# Cora:
bash train_cora_ngcn.sh

# Citeseer:
bash train_citeseer_ngcn.sh

# Pubmed:
bash train_pubmed_ngcn.sh

Note: for cora and citeseer, the shell scripts produce results that are a little better than the paper. We discovered these hyper-parameters only recently (after ICML submission ended).

To be completed!

This code provides the complete MixHop Graph Conv Layer and Architecture, however, it is still missing the Group-lasso regularization. Reason for delay: Our original code is researchy i.e. not pleasant to read [you know how it goes: you try a bunch of things, until something works, without removing the things that did not work, producing one huge file]. The code will be completely ready, and up to our coding standards, by the ICML conference. If you want the code sooner, please email sami@haija.org and we are happy to provide you with the messy version or prioritize the clean-up accordingly.
