# [Graph Attention Networks Description](#contents)
 
Graph Attention Networks(GAT) was proposed in 2017 by Petar Veličković et al. By leveraging masked self-attentional layers to address shortcomings of prior graph based method, GAT achieved or matched state of the art performance on both transductive datasets like Cora and inductive dataset like PPI. This is an example of training GAT with Cora dataset in MindSpore.

# [Model architecture](#contents)

Note that according to whether this attention layer is the output layer of the network or not, the node update function can be concatenate or average.

# [Dataset](#contents)
- Dataset size:
  Statistics of dataset used are summerized as below:

  |                    |           Cora |       Citeseer |
  | ------------------ | -------------: | -------------: |
  | Task               |   Transductive |   Transductive |
  | # Nodes            | 2708 (1 graph) | 3327 (1 graph) |
  | # Edges            |           5429 |           4732 |
  | # Features/Node    |           1433 |           3703 |
  | # Classes          |              7 |              6 |
  | # Training Nodes   |            140 |            120 |
  | # Validation Nodes |            500 |            500 |
  | # Test Nodes       |           1000 |           1000 |

- Data Preparation
  - Place the dataset to any path you want, the folder should include files as follows(we use Cora dataset as an example):
 
  ```
  .
  └─data
      ├─ind.cora.allx
      ├─ind.cora.ally
      ├─ind.cora.graph
      ├─ind.cora.test.index
      ├─ind.cora.tx
      ├─ind.cora.ty
      ├─ind.cora.x
      └─ind.cora.y
  ```

  - Generate dataset in mindrecord format for cora or citeseer.
  ```buildoutcfg
  cd ./scripts
  # SRC_PATH is the dataset file path you downloaded, DATASET_NAME is cora or citeseer
  sh run_process_data_ascend.sh [SRC_PATH] [DATASET_NAME]
  ```

    - Launch
  ```
  #Generate dataset in mindrecord format for cora
  ./run_process_data_ascend.sh ./data cora
  #Generate dataset in mindrecord format for citeseer
  ./run_process_data_ascend.sh ./data citeseer
  ```

# [Features](#contents)

## Mixed Precision

To ultilize the strong computation power of Ascend chip, and accelerate the training process, the mixed training method is used. MindSpore is able to cope with FP32 inputs and FP16 operators. In GAT example, the model is set to FP16 mode except for the loss calculation part.

# [Quick Start](#contents)

After installing MindSpore via the official website and Dataset is correctly generated, you can start training and evaluation as follows.

- running on Ascend

  ```

  "num_epochs": 200,                 # Epoch sizes for training
  "hid_units": [8],                  # Hidden units for attention head at each layer

## [Training Process](#contents)

### Training

- running on Ascend

  ```python 
  sh run_train_ascend.sh [DATASET_NAME]
  ```

  Training result will be stored in the scripts path, whose folder name begins with "train". You can find the result like the 
  followings in log.

  ```python
  Epoch:0, train loss=1.98498 train acc=0.17143 | val loss=1.97946 val acc=0.27200

# [Description of random situation](#contents)

GAT model contains lots of dropout operations, if you want to disable dropout, set the attn_dropout and feature_dropout to 0 in src/config.py. Note that this operation will cause the accuracy drop to approximately 80%.
