🎯 Quick Start

Basic Node Classification

import torch
from pyg_hyper_nn.models import HGNN

# Create model
model = HGNN(
    in_channels=16,      # Input feature dimension
    hidden_channels=32,  # Hidden layer dimension
    out_channels=7,      # Number of classes
    num_layers=2,        # Number of convolution layers
    dropout=0.6,         # Dropout probability
)

# Prepare data
x = torch.randn(100, 16)  # Node features [num_nodes, in_channels]
hyperedge_index = torch.tensor([
    [0, 1, 2, 1, 2, 3],  # Node indices
    [0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1],  # Hyperedge indices
])

# Forward pass
out = model(x, hyperedge_index)  # Output: [num_nodes, out_channels]
print(f"Output shape: {out.shape}")  # torch.Size([100, 7])

Using Different Models

from pyg_hyper_nn.models import HGNN, HyperGCN, UniGNN, MLP

# HGNN - Classic hypergraph convolution (Feng et al., AAAI 2019)
hgnn = HGNN(16, 32, 7, num_layers=2)

# HyperGCN - Supremum-infimum projection (Yadati et al., NeurIPS 2019)
hypergcn = HyperGCN(
    in_channels=16,
    hidden_channels=32,
    out_channels=7,
    num_layers=2,
    fast=True,        # Precompute structure once
    mediators=True,   # Use two-star expansion with mediators
)

# UniGNN - Universal message passing (Huang & Yang, IJCAI 2021)
unignn = UniGNN(
    in_channels=16,
    hidden_channels=32,
    out_channels=7,
    num_layers=2,
    heads=4,  # Multi-head attention
    first_aggregate="mean",  # Vertex-to-hyperedge aggregation
)

# MLP - Baseline model (no graph structure)
mlp = MLP(16, 32, 7, num_layers=2, normalization="bn")

# All models share the same interface
for model in [hgnn, hypergcn, unignn, mlp]:
    out = model(x, hyperedge_index)  # MLP ignores hyperedge_index
    print(f"{model.__class__.__name__}: {out.shape}")

Training Example

import torch
import torch.nn.functional as F
from pyg_hyper_nn.models import HGNN

# Setup
device = torch.device("cuda" if torch.cuda.is_available() else "cpu")
model = HGNN(in_channels=16, hidden_channels=32, out_channels=7, num_layers=2).to(device)
optimizer = torch.optim.Adam(model.parameters(), lr=0.01, weight_decay=5e-4)

# Training loop
model.train()
for epoch in range(100):
    optimizer.zero_grad()

    # Forward pass
    out = model(x.to(device), hyperedge_index.to(device))
    loss = F.cross_entropy(out[train_mask], y[train_mask])

    # Backward pass
    loss.backward()
    optimizer.step()

    if epoch % 10 == 0:
        print(f"Epoch {epoch:3d} | Loss: {loss.item():.4f}")

# Evaluation
model.eval()
with torch.no_grad():
    out = model(x.to(device), hyperedge_index.to(device))
    pred = out.argmax(dim=1)
    acc = (pred[test_mask] == y[test_mask]).float().mean()
    print(f"Test Accuracy: {acc:.4f}")

🚧 Coming Soon (7 models remaining)

The remaining models from DHG-Bench present significant implementation challenges due to custom data structures and non-standard interfaces:

Model	Paper	Venue	Year	Implementation Status
T-HyperGNNs	T-HyperGNNs: Hypergraph Neural Networks via Tensor Representations	TNNLS	2024	Requires custom tensor aggregation (TMPHN-style)
DPHGNN	DPHGNN: A Dual Perspective Hypergraph Neural Networks	KDD	2024	Requires TAA (Topology-Aware Attention) and multiple graph expansions
EHNN	Equivariant hypergraph neural networks	ECCV	2022	Requires hypernetwork for dynamic weight generation

Why these are difficult: All remaining models depend on special data structures (neig_dict, ehnn_cache, multiple adjacency matrices) that cannot be easily expressed with standard PyG's hyperedge_index interface. See CLAUDE.md for detailed technical analysis.

Utility function available: build_neighbor_dict() has been implemented as a foundation for future TMPHN implementation (6 tests passing).

See docs/models.md for detailed model descriptions and API documentation.
