Graph Neural Networks Part 3: How GraphSAGE Handles Changing Graph Structure
- GraphSAGE is introduced as a solution to issues with GCNs and GATs, such as generalization and scalability problems.
- GCNs and GATs struggle with generalizing to unseen graphs, requiring the same structure as training data.
- GraphSAGE addresses scalability by sampling neighbors and aggregating features efficiently.
- Sampling neighbors and aggregating their features are crucial steps in the GraphSAGE architecture.
- Aggregation functions like mean aggregation, LSTM, and pooling are utilized in GraphSAGE.
- Node representations are updated by combining previous features with aggregated neighbor features in GraphSAGE.
- GraphSAGE allows information flow from distant neighbors through repeated layers in the network.
- GraphSAGE is implemented in PyG, making it easily usable in PyTorch for predicting on graphs.
- Results comparing GraphSAGE with GCN and GAT show superior performance on small datasets like Cora.
- GraphSAGE exhibits impressive improvements in accuracy compared to GCN and GAT in the experiments.
