Next-generation graph learning benchmarking.

GraphBench: Next generation graph learning benchmarking

This is the package associated with the paper GraphBench: Next generation graph learning benchmarking.

It contains the code and tools necessary to load the datasets associated with the benchmark. GraphBench is a collection of benchmarking datasets across domains and tasks obtained from real world and synthetic applications.

Features

GraphBench comes as a Python package with the following features:

Data Loading	Efficiently loads graph datasets for benchmarking and experimentation across all domains and tasks.
Metric Evaluation	Supports a wide range of evaluation metrics for graph learning tasks.
Automated Model Tuning	Integrates SMAC3 for automatic hyperparameter optimization of user models.

Installation

GraphBench can be easily installed using the python package manager pip: pip install graphbench-lib

Please make sure to update the installation of GraphBench before running the benchmark for best results. Alternatively one can also install from source:

git clone https://github.com/graphbench/package
cd package
pip install -e . 

Usage

The package can be easily used to get selected datasets from the GraphBench tasks:

import graphbench-lib as graphbench
Loader = graphbench.loader.Loader(root, dataset_name)
datasets = Loader.load()

Furthermore, standardized evaluation metrics can be obtained using the following methods:

Evaluator = graphbench.evaluator.Evaluator(metric_name)
metric_results = Evaluator.evaluate()

For a full list of the datasets, see the accompanying website (https://graphbench.io) or the datasets.csv file.
