From Random Walks to Transformer for Learning Node EmbeddingsTwitter

  • This program provides the implementation of our unsupervised node embedding model SANNE as described in our paper whose central idea is to employ a transformer self-attention network to iteratively aggregate vector representations of nodes in sampled random walks.
  • SANNE is also used in an inductive setting to infer embeddings of new/unseen nodes adding to a given graph.

Usage

News

  • June 08, 2020: Update Pytorch (1.5.0) implementation. You should change to the log_uniform directory to perform make to build SampledSoftmax, and then add the log_uniform directory to your PYTHONPATH.
  • March 25, 2020: The Tensorflow implementation was completed one year ago and now it is out-of-date, caused by the change of Tensorflow from 1.x to 2.x. I will release the Pytorch implementation soon.

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Pytorch 1.5 or
  • Tensorflow 1.6 and Tensor2Tensor 1.9
  • scikit-learn 0.21.3

Training

Examples for the Pytorch implementation:

$ python train_pytorch_SANNE.py --dataset cora --batch_size 64 --num_self_att_layers 2 --num_heads 2 --ff_hidden_size 256 --num_neighbors 4 --walk_length 8 --num_walks 32 --learning_rate 0.005 --model_name CORA_trans_att2_h2_nw32_lr0.005

$ python train_pytorch_SANNE_inductive.py --dataset cora --batch_size 64 --num_self_att_layers 2 --num_heads 2 --ff_hidden_size 256 --num_neighbors 4 --walk_length 8 --num_walks 32 --fold_idx 1 --learning_rate 0.005 --model_name CORA_ind_att2_h2_nw32_fold1_lr0.005
