Documentation | External Resources | Datasets

PyTorch Geometric Temporal is a temporal (dynamic) extension library for PyTorch Geometric.

The library consists of various dynamic and temporal geometric deep learning, embedding, and spatio-temporal regression methods from a variety of published research papers. Moreover, it comes with an easy-to-use dataset loader, train-test splitter and temporal snaphot iterator for dynamic and temporal graphs. The framework naturally provides GPU support. It also comes with a number of benchmark datasets from the epidemological forecasting, sharing economy, energy production and web traffic management domains. Finally, you can also create your own datasets.

The package interfaces well with Pytorch Lightning which allows training on CPUs, single and multiple GPUs out-of-the-box. Take a look at this introductory example of using PyTorch Geometric Temporal with Pytorch Lighning.

We also provide detailed examples for each of the recurrent models and notebooks for the attention based ones.

A simple example

PyTorch Geometric Temporal makes implementing Dynamic and Temporal Graph Neural Networks quite easy - see the accompanying tutorial. For example, this is all it takes to implement a recurrent graph convolutional network with two consecutive graph convolutional GRU cells and a linear layer:

import torch
import torch.nn.functional as F
from torch_geometric_temporal.nn.recurrent import GConvGRU

class RecurrentGCN(torch.nn.Module):

    def __init__(self, node_features, num_classes):
        super(RecurrentGCN, self).__init__()
        self.recurrent_1 = GConvGRU(node_features, 32, 5)
        self.recurrent_2 = GConvGRU(32, 16, 5)
        self.linear = torch.nn.Linear(16, num_classes)

    def forward(self, x, edge_index, edge_weight):
        x = self.recurrent_1(x, edge_index, edge_weight)
        x = F.relu(x)
        x = F.dropout(x, training=self.training)
        x = self.recurrent_2(x, edge_index, edge_weight)
        x = F.relu(x)
        x = F.dropout(x, training=self.training)
        x = self.linear(x)
        return F.log_softmax(x, dim=1)
