pygmtools 0.2.2

pygmtools provides graph matching solvers in Python API and supports numpy and pytorch backends. pygmtools also provides dataset API for standard graph matching benchmarks.

pygmtools

pygmtools provides graph matching solvers in Python and is easily accessible via the following command:

pip install pygmtools

Backends

By default the solvers are executed on the numpy backend, and the required packages will be automatically downloaded.

For advanced and professional users, the pytorch backend is also available if you have installed and configured a pytorch runtime. The pytorch backend exploits the underlying GPU-acceleration feature, and also supports integrating graph matching modules into your deep learning pipeline.

Features

To highlight, pygmtools has the following features:

• Support various backends, including numpy which is universally accessible, and the state-of-the-art deep learning architecture pytorch with GPU-support. The support of the following backends are also planned: tensorflow, mindspore, paddle, jittor;
• Support various solvers, including traditional combinatorial solvers and novel deep learning-based solvers;
• Deep learning friendly, the operations are designed to best preserve the gradient during computation and batched operations support for the best performance.

Benchmarks

pygmtools is also featured with standard data interface of several graph matching benchmarks. We also maintain a repository containing non-trivial implementation of deep graph matching models, please check out ThinkMatch if you are interested!
