DeepGCNs: Can GCNs Go as Deep as CNNs?

In this work, we present new ways to successfully train very deep GCNs. We borrow concepts from CNNs, mainly residual/dense connections and dilated convolutions, and adapt them to GCN architectures. Through extensive experiments, we show the positive effect of these deep GCN frameworks.

Overview

We do extensive experiments to show how different components (#Layers, #Filters, #Nearest Neighbors, Dilation, etc.) effect DeepGCNs. We also provide ablation studies on different type of Deep GCNs (MRGCN, EdgeConv, GraphSage and GIN).

How to train, test and evaluate our models

Please look the details in Readme.md of each task inside examples folder. All the information of code, data, and pretrained models can be found there.
