Graph Machine Learning using TensorFlow
Intro
We have shown in related articles how StellarGraph can be used for node and linke predictions using diverse algorithms. All these algorithms effectively turn a graph structure into a more flat (tabular) structure so one can use traditional machine learning algorithms. For example, a random graph walk can collect inforation about the topology of a graph and this data can be added to the existing payload attached to a node or an edge. Using these intermediate ‘tricks’ one can in principle consume any of the existing machine learning approaches and frameworks. Keras and TensorFlow are no exception. You only need to work your way towards appropriate input and output adapter to ingest graph data.
TensorFlow has a separate development branch dedicated to graph learning which they call Neural Structured Learning (NSL). Much like their TensorFlow Probabilty framework for probabilistic reasoning and other TensorFlow extensions it’s a mixed bag; it can allow you to get things done but it also feels unpolished and the API is inpenetrable. On the other hand, if your pipeline is relying on TensorFlow code then this can be a way to increase your models by including graph data (like knowledge graphs or ontologies).
In this article the NSL extension is used to approach our favorite Cora dataset. The takeaway from the explanation is this:
- in comparison to frameworks like StellarGraph (and other frameworks specifically designed to apply machine learning on graphs) the Keras/TensorFlow code needed to achieve similar results is tremendous. You have a lot of flexibility but it feels more like an uncharted territory than flexibility.
- the data transformation necessary to make things happen is way more complex as well.
- if you wish to include graph learning in your (business) projects you are better off with StellarGraph
- the increased accuracy obtained by including graph data in the ‘normal’ data is not spectacular but can be significant in some domains (say cancer research or predictive analytics).

The Cora dataset
We have used the dataset over and over again in previous articles and there is a separate article explaining in detail how to download it and how to interprete the data.
In contrast with StellarGraph the Cora set needs to be converted into a TFRecord format:
- Generate neighbor features using the original node features and the graph.
- Generate train and test data splits containing
tf.train.Exampleinstances. - Persist the resulting train and test data in the
TFRecordformat.
The code necessary to do this is straightforward and convoluted at the same time:
"""Tool that preprocesses Cora data for Graph Keras trainers.
The Cora dataset can be downloaded from:
https://linqs-data.soe.ucsc.edu/public/lbc/cora.tgz
In particular, this tool does the following:
(a) Converts Cora data (cora.content) into TF Examples,
(b) Parses the Cora citation graph (cora.cites),
(c) Merges/combines the TF Examples and the graph, and
(d) Writes the training and test data in TF Record format.
The 'cora.content' has the following TSV format:
publication_id<TAB>word_1<TAB>word_2<TAB>...<TAB>publication_label
Each line of cora.content is a publication that:
- Has an integer 'publication_id'
- Described by a 0/1-valued word vector indicating the absence/presence of the
corresponding word from the dictionary. In other words, each 'word_k' is
either 0 or 1.
- Has a string 'publication_label' representing the publication category.
The 'cora.cites' is a TSV file that specifies a graph as a set of edges
representing citation relationships among publications. 'cora.cites' has the
following TSV format:
source_publication_id<TAB>target_publication_id
Each line of cora.cites represents an edge that 'source_publication_id' cites
'target_publication_id'.
This tool first converts all the 'cora.content' into TF Examples. Then for
training data, this tool merges into each labeled Example the features of that
Example's neighbors according to that instance's edges in the graph. Finally,
the merged training examples are written to a TF Record file. The test data
will be written to a TF Record file w/o joining with the neighbors.
Sample usage:
$ python preprocess_cora_dataset.py --max_nbrs=5

Variables and Hyperparameters
The file paths to the train and test data are based on the command line flag
values used to invoke the ‘preprocess_cora_dataset.py’ script above.
### Experiment dataset
TRAIN_DATA_PATH = '/tmp/cora/train_merged_examples.tfr'
TEST_DATA_PATH = '/tmp/cora/test_examples.tfr'
### Constants used to identify neighbor features in the input.
NBR_FEATURE_PREFIX = 'NL_nbr_'
NBR_WEIGHT_SUFFIX = '_weight'
Next, we’ll use a class defining the hyperparameters and constants used for training and evaluation.:
- dropout_rate: Controls the rate of dropout following each fully
connected layer - num_fc_units: The number of fully connected layers in our neural
network. - train_epochs: The number of training epochs.
- batch_size: Batch size used for training and evaluation.
- num_classes: There are a total 7 different classes
- max_seq_length: This is the size of the vocabulary and all instances in
the input have a dense multi-hot, bag-of-words representation. In other
words, a value of 1 for a word indicates that the word is present in the
input and a value of 0 indicates that it is not. - distance_type: This is the distance metric used to regularize the sample
with its neighbors. - graph_regularization_multiplier: This controls the relative weight of
the graph regularization term in the overall loss function. - num_neighbors: The number of neighbors used for graph regularization.
This value has to be less than or equal to themax_nbrscommand-line
argument used above when runningpreprocess_cora_dataset.py. - eval_steps: The number of batches to process before deeming evaluation
is complete. If set toNone, all instances in the test set are evaluated.class HParams(object): """Hyperparameters used for training.""" def __init__(self): ### training parameters self.train_epochs = 100 self.batch_size = 128 self.dropout_rate = 0.5 ### eval parameters self.eval_steps = None # All instances in the test set are evaluated. ### dataset parameters self.num_classes = 7 self.max_seq_length = 1433 ### neural graph learning parameters self.distance_type = nsl.configs.DistanceType.L2 self.graph_regularization_multiplier = 0.1 self.num_neighbors = 1 ### model architecture self.num_fc_units = [50, 50] HPARAMS = HParams()

The model
In order to show the difference between normal learning and graph learning we’ll use a base model and a graph’d model.
The sequential base model is a standard MLP with the amount of layers specified in the constant above:
def make_mlp_sequential_model(hparams):
"""Creates a sequential multi-layer perceptron model."""
model = tf.keras.Sequential()
model.add(
tf.keras.layers.InputLayer(
input_shape=(hparams.max_seq_length,), name='words'))
# Input is already one-hot encoded in the integer format. We cast it to
# floating point format here.
model.add(
tf.keras.layers.Lambda(lambda x: tf.keras.backend.cast(x, tf.float32)))
for num_units in hparams.num_fc_units:
model.add(tf.keras.layers.Dense(num_units, activation='relu'))
# For sequential models, by default, Keras ensures that the 'dropout' layer
# is invoked only during training.
model.add(tf.keras.layers.Dropout(hparams.dropout_rate))
model.add(tf.keras.layers.Dense(hparams.num_classes, activation='softmax'))
return model
The functional base model looks like this
def make_mlp_functional_model(hparams):
"""Creates a functional API-based multi-layer perceptron model."""
inputs = tf.keras.Input(
shape=(hparams.max_seq_length,), dtype='int64', name='words')
# Input is already one-hot encoded in the integer format. We cast it to
# floating point format here.
cur_layer = tf.keras.layers.Lambda(
lambda x: tf.keras.backend.cast(x, tf.float32))(
inputs)
for num_units in hparams.num_fc_units:
cur_layer = tf.keras.layers.Dense(num_units, activation='relu')(cur_layer)
# For functional models, by default, Keras ensures that the 'dropout' layer
# is invoked only during training.
cur_layer = tf.keras.layers.Dropout(hparams.dropout_rate)(cur_layer)
outputs = tf.keras.layers.Dense(
hparams.num_classes, activation='softmax')(
cur_layer)
model = tf.keras.Model(inputs, outputs=outputs)
return model
Finally, we subclass the the MLP model
def make_mlp_subclass_model(hparams):
"""Creates a multi-layer perceptron subclass model in Keras."""
class MLP(tf.keras.Model):
"""Subclass model defining a multi-layer perceptron."""
def __init__(self):
super(MLP, self).__init__()
# Input is already one-hot encoded in the integer format. We create a
# layer to cast it to floating point format here.
self.cast_to_float_layer = tf.keras.layers.Lambda(
lambda x: tf.keras.backend.cast(x, tf.float32))
self.dense_layers = [
tf.keras.layers.Dense(num_units, activation='relu')
for num_units in hparams.num_fc_units
]
self.dropout_layer = tf.keras.layers.Dropout(hparams.dropout_rate)
self.output_layer = tf.keras.layers.Dense(
hparams.num_classes, activation='softmax')
def call(self, inputs, training=False):
cur_layer = self.cast_to_float_layer(inputs['words'])
for dense_layer in self.dense_layers:
cur_layer = dense_layer(cur_layer)
cur_layer = self.dropout_layer(cur_layer, training=training)
outputs = self.output_layer(cur_layer)
return outputs
return MLP()
Using of the above we can output the characteristics of our base model
base_model_tag, base_model = 'FUNCTIONAL', make_mlp_functional_model(HPARAMS)
base_model.summary()

Training
From here on all is similar to any other learning based on TensorFlow and training our base model is simply:
base_model.compile(
optimizer='adam',
loss='sparse_categorical_crossentropy',
metrics=['accuracy'])
base_model.fit(train_dataset, epochs=HPARAMS.train_epochs, verbose=1)
Epoch 1/100

Base model accuracy
Our base model achieves a 78% accuracy. Not spectacular but it only serves as a baseline for the next step.
def print_metrics(model_desc, eval_metrics):
"""Prints evaluation metrics.

Graph regularization
Incorporating graph regularization into the loss term of an existing tf.Keras.Model requires just a few lines of code. The base model is wrapped to create a new tf.Keras subclass model, whose loss includes graph regularization.
base_reg_model_tag, base_reg_model = 'FUNCTIONAL', make_mlp_functional_model(
HPARAMS)
# Wrap the base MLP model with graph regularization.
graph_reg_config = nsl.configs.make_graph_reg_config(
max_neighbors=HPARAMS.num_neighbors,
multiplier=HPARAMS.graph_regularization_multiplier,
distance_type=HPARAMS.distance_type,
sum_over_axis=-1)
graph_reg_model = nsl.keras.GraphRegularization(base_reg_model,
graph_reg_config)
graph_reg_model.compile(
optimizer='adam',
loss='sparse_categorical_crossentropy',
metrics=['accuracy'])

Graph regularization accuracy
With graph information added we increase our accuracy to 81% compared to the 78% baseline from above. Again, nothing hyperbolic but it shows that graph regularization leads to an improved model.
eval_results = dict(
zip(graph_reg_model.metrics_names,
graph_reg_model.evaluate(test_dataset, steps= HPARAMS.eval_steps)))
print_metrics('MLP + graph regularization', eval_results)
