# [GCN Description](#contents)

GCN(Graph Convolutional Networks) was proposed in 2016 and designed to do semi-supervised learning on graph-structured data. A scalable approach based on an efficient variant of convolutional neural networks which operate directly on graphs was presented. The model scales linearly in the number of graph edges and learns hidden layer representations that encode both local graph structure and features of nodes.

# [Model Architecture](#contents)

GCN contains two graph convolution layers. Each layer takes nodes features and adjacency matrix as input, nodes' features are then updated by aggregating neighbours' features.

  - [MindSpore Python API](https://www.mindspore.cn/doc/api_python/en/master/index.html)


# [Quick Start](#contents)

- Install [MindSpore](https://www.mindspore.cn/install/en).

- Download the dataset Cora or Citeseer provided by /kimiyoung/planetoid from github.
 
- 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.
####Usage
```buildoutcfg
cd ./scripts
# SRC_PATH is the dataset file path you downloaded, DATASET_NAME is cora or citeseer
sh run_process_data.sh [SRC_PATH] [DATASET_NAME]
```

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

```
 
## [Script Parameters](#contents)
 
Parameters for training can be set in config.py.
 
```
"learning_rate": 0.01,            # Learning rate
"epochs": 200,                    # Epoch sizes for training

```

## [Training, Evaluation, Test Process](#contents)
 
#### Usage

```
# run train with cora or citeseer dataset, DATASET_NAME is cora or citeseer
sh run_train.sh [DATASET_NAME]
```
 
#### Launch
 
```bash
sh run_train.sh cora
```
 
#### Result
 
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.

# [Description of Random Situation](#contents)

There are two random situations:
- Seed is set in train.py according to input argument --seed.
- Dropout operations.

Some seeds have already been set in train.py to avoid the randomness of weight initialization. If you want to disable dropout, please set the corresponding dropout_prob parameter to 0 in src/config.py.
