This repository contains code to generate data and reproduce experiments from our NeurIPS 2019 paper:
See slides here.
An earlier short version of our paper was presented as a contributed talk at ICLR Workshop on Representation Learning on Graphs and Manifolds, 2019.
Update:
In the code for MNIST, the dist variable should have been squared to make it a Gaussian. All figures and results were generated without squaring it. I don't think it's very important in terms of results, but if you square it, sigma should be adjusted accordingly.

For MNIST from top to bottom rows:
- input test images with additive Gaussian noise with standard deviation in the range from 0 to 1.4 with step 0.2
- attention coefficients (alpha) predicted by the unsupervised model
- attention coefficients (alpha) predicted by the supervised model
- attention coefficients (alpha) predicted by our weakly-supervised model
For TRIANGLES from top to bottom rows:
- on the left: input test graph (with 4-100 nodes) with ground truth attention coefficients, on the right: graph obtained by ground truth node pooling
- on the left: input test graph (with 4-100 nodes) with unsupervised attention coefficients, on the right: graph obtained by unsupervised node pooling
- on the left: input test graph (with 4-100 nodes) with supervised attention coefficients, on the right: graph obtained by supervised node pooling
- on the left: input test graph (with 4-100 nodes) with weakly-supervised attention coefficients, on the right: graph obtained by weakly-supervised node pooling
Note that during training, our MNIST models have not encountered noisy images and our TRIANGLES models have not encountered graphs larger than with N=25 nodes.
Examples using PyTorch Geometric
COLORS and TRIANGLES datasets are now also available in the TU format, so that you can use a general TU datareader. See PyTorch Geometric examples for COLORS and TRIANGLES.
For more examples, see MNIST_eval_models and TRIANGLES_eval_models.

yis a vector with 10 unnormalized class scores. To get a predicted label, we can usetorch.argmax(y). -
alphais a vector of attention coefficients alpha for each node.

We design two synthetic graph tasks, COLORS and TRIANGLES, in which we predict the number of green nodes and the number of triangles respectively.
-
We also experiment with the MNIST image classification dataset, which we preprocess by extracting superpixels - a more natural way to feed images to a graph. We denote this dataset as MNIST-75sp.
-
We validate our weakly-supervised approach on three common graph classification benchmarks: COLLAB, PROTEINS and D&D.
For COLORS, TRIANGLES and MNIST we know ground truth attention for nodes, which allows us to study graph neural networks with attention in depth.
To generate all data using a single command: ./scripts/prepare_data.sh.
All generated/downloaded ata will be stored in the local ./data directory.
It can take about 1 hour to prepare all data (see my log) and all data take about 2 GB.
Alternatively, you can generate data for each task as described below.
In case of any issues with running these scripts, data can be downloaded from here.
To generate training, validation and test data for our Colors dataset with different dimensionalities:
for dim in 3 8 16 32; do python generate_data.py --dim $dim; done
To generate training and test data for our MNIST-75sp dataset using 4 CPU threads:
for split in train test; do python extract_superpixels.py -s $split -t 4; done
Once datasets are generated or downloaded, you can use the following IPython notebooks to load and visualize data:
COLORS and TRIANGLES, MNIST and COLLAB, PROTEINS and D&D.

| Model | COLORS-Test-LargeC | TRIANGLES-Test-Large | MNIST-75sp-Test-Noisy |
|---|---|---|---|
| Script to train models | colors.sh | triangles.sh | mnist_75sp.sh |
| Global pooling | 15 ± 7 | 30 ± 1 | 80 ± 12 |
| Unsupervised attention | 11 ± 6 | 26 ± 2 | 80 ± 23 |
| Supervised attention | 75 ± 17 | 48 ± 1 | 92.3 ± 0.4 |
| Weakly-supervised attention | 73 ± 14 | 30 ± 1 | 88.8 ± 4 |
The scripts to train the models must be run from the main directory, e.g.: ./scripts/mnist_75sp.sh
Examples of evaluating our trained models can be found in notebooks: MNIST_eval_models and TRIANGLES_eval_models.
To tune hyperparameters on the validation set for COLORS, TRIANGLES and MNIST, use the --validation flag.
For COLLAB, PROTEINS and D&D tuning of hyperparameters is included in the training script. Use the --ax flag.
Example of running 10 weakly-supervised experiments on PROTEINS with cross-validation of hyperparameters including initialization parameters (distribution and scale) of the attention model (the --tune_init flag):
for i in $(seq 1 1 10); do dataseed=$(( ( RANDOM % 10000 ) + 1 )); for j in $(seq 1 1 10); do seed=$(( ( RANDOM % 10000 ) + 1 )); python main.py --seed $seed -D TU --n_nodes 25 --epochs 50 --lr_decay_step 25,35,45 --test_batch_size 100 -f 64,64,64 -K 1 --readout max --dropout 0.1 --pool attn_sup_threshold_skip_skip_0 --pool_arch fc_prev --results None --data_dir ./data/PROTEINS --seed_data $dataseed --cv --cv_folds 5 --cv_threads 5 --ax --ax_trials 30 --scale None --tune_init | tee logs/proteins_wsup_"$dataseed"_"$seed".log; done; done
No initialization tuning on COLLAB:
for i in $(seq 1 1 10); do dataseed=$(( ( RANDOM % 10000 ) + 1 )); for j in $(seq 1 1 10); do seed=$(( ( RANDOM % 10000 ) + 1 )); python main.py --seed $seed -D TU --n_nodes 35 --epochs 50 --lr_decay_step 25,35,45 --test_batch_size 32 -f 64,64,64 -K 3 --readout max --dropout 0.1 --pool attn_sup_threshold_skip_skip_skip_0 --pool_arch fc_prev --results None --data_dir ./data/COLLAB --seed_data $dataseed --cv --cv_folds 5 --cv_threads 5 --ax --ax_trials 30 --scale None | tee logs/collab_wsup_"$dataseed"_"$seed".log; done; done
Note that results can be better if using --pool_arch gnn_prev, but we didn't focus on that.
