SGL: Scalable Graph Learning

SGL is a Graph Neural Network (GNN) toolkit targeting scalable graph learning, which supports deep graph learning on extremely large datasets. SGL allows users to easily implement scalable graph neural networks and evaluate its performance on various downstream tasks like node classification, node clustering, and link prediction. Further, SGL supports auto neural architecture search functionality based on OpenBox. SGL is designed and developed by the graph learning team from the DAIR Lab at Peking University.

Why SGL？

The key difference between SGL and existing GNN toolkits, such as PyTorch Geometric (PyG) and Deep Graph Library (DGL), is that, SGL enjoys the characteristics of the follwing three perspectives.

• High scalability: Following the scalable design paradigm SGAP in PaSca, SGL can scale to graph data with billions of nodes and edges.
• Auto neural architecture search: SGL can automatically choose decent and scalable graph neural architectures according to specific tasks and pre-defined multiple objectives (e.g., inference time, memory cost, and predictive performance).
• Ease of use: SGL has user-friendly interfaces for implementing existing scalable GNNs and executing various downstream tasks.

Installation

Some datasets in SGL are constructed based on PyG. Please follow the link below to install PyG first before installing SGL: https://pytorch-geometric.readthedocs.io/en/latest/notes/installation.html.

Install from pip

To install SGL from PyPI:

pip install sgl-dair

Quick Start

A quick start example is given by:

from sgl.dataset import Planetoid
from sgl.models.homo import SGC
from sgl.tasks import NodeClassification

dataset = Planetoid("pubmed", "./", "official")
model = SGC(prop_steps=3, feat_dim=dataset.num_features, output_dim=dataset.num_classes)

device = "cuda:0"
test_acc = NodeClassification(dataset, model, lr=0.1, weight_decay=5e-5, epochs=200, device=device).test_acc

An example of the auto neural network search functionality is as follows:

import torch
from openbox.optimizer.generic_smbo import SMBO

from sgl.dataset.planetoid import Planetoid
from sgl.search.search_config import ConfigManager

dataset = Planetoid("cora", "./", "official")
device = torch.device(f"cuda:{0}" if torch.cuda.is_available() else "cpu")

## Define Initial Arch and Configuration
initial_arch = [2, 0, 1, 2, 3, 0, 0]
configer = ConfigManager(initial_arch)
configer._setParameters(dataset, device, 128, 200, 1e-2, 5e-4)

## Define Search Parameters
dim = 7
bo = SMBO(configer._configFunction,
          configer._configSpace(),
          num_objs=2,
          num_constraints=0,
          max_runs=3500,
          surrogate_type='prf',
          acq_type='ehvi',
          acq_optimizer_type='local_random',
          initial_runs=2 * (dim + 1),
          init_strategy='sobol',
          ref_point=[-1, 0.00001],
          time_limit_per_trial=5000,
          task_id='quick_start',
          random_state=1)

## Search
history = bo.run()
print(history)
