PGL Dstributed Graph Engine API released!!

• Our Dstributed Graph Engine API has been released and we developed a tutorial to show how to launch a graph engine and a demo for training model using graph engine.

Paddle Graph Learning (PGL) is an efficient and flexible graph learning framework based on PaddlePaddle.

The newly released PGL supports heterogeneous graph learning on both walk based paradigm and message-passing based paradigm by providing MetaPath sampling and Message Passing mechanism on heterogeneous graph. Furthermor, The newly released PGL also support distributed graph storage and some distributed training algorithms, such as distributed deep walk and distributed graphsage. Combined with the PaddlePaddle deep learning framework, we are able to support both graph representation learning models and graph neural networks, and thus our framework has a wide range of graph-based applications.

One of the most important benefits of graph neural networks compared to other models is the ability to use node-to-node connectivity information, but coding the communication between nodes is very cumbersome. At PGL we adopt Message Passing Paradigm similar to DGL to help to build a customize graph neural network easily. Users only need to write send and recv functions to easily implement a simple GCN. As shown in the following figure, for the first step the send function is defined on the edges of the graph, and the user can customize the send function to send the message from the source to the target node. For the second step, the recv function is responsible for aggregating messages together from different sources.

To write a sum aggregator, users only need to write the following codes.

    import pgl
    import paddle
    import numpy as np

    
    num_nodes = 5
    edges = [(0, 1), (1, 2), (3, 4)]
    feature = np.random.randn(5, 100).astype(np.float32)

    g = pgl.Graph(num_nodes=num_nodes,
        edges=edges,
        node_feat={
            "h": feature
        })
    g.tensor()

    def send_func(src_feat, dst_feat, edge_feat):
        return src_feat

    def recv_func(msg):
        return msg.reduce_sum(msg["h"]) 
     
    msg = g.send(send_func, src_feat=g.node_feat)

    ret = g.recv(recv_func, msg)

Highlight: Flexibility - Natively Support Heterogeneous Graph Learning

Graph can conveniently represent the relation between things in the real world, but the categories of things and the relation between things are various. Therefore, in the heterogeneous graph, we need to distinguish the node types and edge types in the graph network. PGL models heterogeneous graphs that contain multiple node types and multiple edge types, and can describe complex connections between different types.

Support meta path walk sampling on heterogeneous graph

Support Message Passing mechanism on heterogeneous graph

Large-Scale: Support distributed graph storage and distributed training algorithms

In most cases of large-scale graph learning, we need distributed graph storage and distributed training support. As shown in the following figure, PGL provided a general solution of large-scale training, we adopted PaddleFleet as our distributed parameter servers, which supports large scale distributed embeddings and a lightweighted distributed storage engine so it can easily set up a large scale distributed training algorithm with MPI clusters.

Model Zoo

The following graph learning models have been implemented in the framework. You can find more examples and the details here.

The above models consists of three parts, namely, graph representation learning, graph neural network and heterogeneous graph learning, which are also divided into graph representation learning and graph neural network.
