HyperGCN: A New Method of Training Graph Convolutional Networks on Hypergraphs

Source code for NeurIPS 2019 paper: HyperGCN: A New Method of Training Graph Convolutional Networks on Hypergraphs

Overview of HyperGCN: *Given a hypergraph and node features, HyperGCN approximates the hypergraph by a graph in which each hyperedge is approximated by a subgraph consisting of an edge between maximally disparate nodes and edges between each of these and every other node (mediator) of the hyperedge. A graph convolutional network (GCN) is then run on the resulting graph approximation. *

Dependencies

• Compatible with PyTorch 1.0 and Python 3.x.
• For data (and/or splits) not used in the paper, please consider tuning hyperparameters such as hidden size, learning rate, seed, etc. on validation data.

Training model (Node classifiction):

• To start training run:

  python hypergcn.py --mediators True --split 1 --data coauthorship --dataset dblp
  

  • --mediators denotes whether to use mediators (True) or not (False)
  • --split is the train-test split number
