Slide 7 Topological Graph Neural Networks

Topological Graph Neural Networks (TGNNs) are a class of neural network models designed to operate on graph-structured data while incorporating topological information. They can learn representations that capture the topological properties of the graph, which can be useful for tasks such as node classification, link prediction, and graph generation.

Code:

Let’s break this down together! Here’s how we can tackle this:

import torch
import torch.nn as nn
from topological_gnn import TopologicalGCN

# Load and preprocess graph data
graph_data = load_graph_data()

# Create a Topological Graph Convolutional Network (TGCN) model
model = TopologicalGCN(input_dim=graph_data.node_features.shape[1], hidden_dim=64, output_dim=graph_data.num_classes)

# Define the loss function
criterion = nn.CrossEntropyLoss()

# Train the model
optimizer = torch.optim.Adam(model.parameters(), lr=0.001)
for epoch in range(num_epochs):
    outputs = model(graph_data.node_features, graph_data.edge_index)
    loss = criterion(outputs[graph_data.train_mask], graph_data.node_labels[graph_data.train_mask])
    loss.backward()
    optimizer.step()
    optimizer.zero_grad()

# Evaluate the model
model.eval()
with torch.no_grad():
    outputs = model(graph_data.node_features, graph_data.edge_index)
    accuracy = (outputs[graph_data.test_mask].argmax(dim=1) == graph_data.node_labels[graph_data.test_mask]).float().mean()
    print(f"Test Accuracy: {accuracy.item()}")

In this rewritten slide, we include a complete example of training and evaluating a Topological Graph Convolutional Network (TGCN) model on a graph dataset. The code assumes that the load_graph_data function returns a dictionary containing the node features, edge indices, node labels, and train/test masks for the graph data.

We first create a TGCN model with specified input, hidden, and output dimensions. Then, we define a cross-entropy loss function and use an Adam optimizer to train the model on the graph data. During training, we perform forward passes on the node features and edge indices, compute the loss on the training nodes, and update the model parameters accordingly.

After training, we evaluate the model on the test nodes by computing the accuracy of the predicted node labels. The output of the model is obtained by passing the node features and edge indices through the trained TGCN model.

This example shows you how to incorporate topological information from the graph structure into a neural network model and train it for tasks like node classification or link prediction.

🚀 Topological Attention Mechanisms - Made Simple!

Topological Attention Mechanisms are a way to incorporate topological information into attention-based neural network models, such as Transformers. These mechanisms leverage topological concepts to determine the importance or relevance of different input elements based on their topological relationships, enabling the model to focus on the most relevant information.

Code:

Ready for some cool stuff? Here’s how we can tackle this:

import torch
import torch.nn as nn
from topological_attention import TopologicalAttention

# Load and preprocess data with topological information
data, topology = load_data_with_topology()

# Create a Transformer model with Topological Attention
model = nn.Transformer(d_model=512, nhead=8, num_encoder_layers=6, num_decoder_layers=6, dim_feedforward=2048, dropout=0.1)
model.encoder.layers[0].self_attn = TopologicalAttention(topology, d_model=512)

# Define the loss function
criterion = nn.CrossEntropyLoss()

# Train the model
optimizer = torch.optim.Adam(model.parameters(), lr=0.0001)
for epoch in range(num_epochs):
    outputs = model(data)
    loss = criterion(outputs, targets)
    loss.backward()
    optimizer.step()
    optimizer.zero_grad()

# Evaluate the model
model.eval()
with torch.no_grad():
    outputs = model(data)
    accuracy = (outputs.argmax(dim=1) == targets).float().mean()
    print(f"Test Accuracy: {accuracy.item()}")

We first create a Transformer model and replace the self-attention layer in the first encoder layer with a TopologicalAttention layer, which takes the topological information as input. We then define a cross-entropy loss function and use an Adam optimizer to train the model on the data.

During training, we perform forward passes through the model, compute the loss against the target labels, and update the model parameters accordingly. After training, we evaluate the model by computing the accuracy of the predicted outputs on the data.

This example shows you how to incorporate topological information into an attention-based model like the Transformer, enabling the model to focus on the most relevant input elements based on their topological relationships.

🚀 Topological Convolutional Neural Networks - Made Simple!

Topological Convolutional Neural Networks (TCNNs) are a variant of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) that incorporate topological information into the convolution operation. They can be particularly useful for tasks involving data with non-Euclidean structures, such as meshes, point clouds, or manifolds.

Code:

Let me walk you through this step by step! Here’s how we can tackle this:

import torch
import torch.nn as nn
from topological_cnn import TopologicalConv2d

# Load and preprocess data with topological information
data, topology = load_data_with_topology()

# Create a Topological CNN model
model = nn.Sequential(
    TopologicalConv2d(in_channels=3, out_channels=32, kernel_size=3, topology=topology),
    nn.ReLU(),
    nn.MaxPool2d(2),
    TopologicalConv2d(in_channels=32, out_channels=64, kernel_size=3, topology=topology),
    nn.ReLU(),
    nn.MaxPool2d(2),
    nn.Flatten(),
    nn.Linear(64 * 4 * 4, 128),
    nn.ReLU(),
    nn.Linear(128, num_classes)
)

# Define the loss function
criterion = nn.CrossEntropyLoss()

# Train the model
optimizer = torch.optim.Adam(model.parameters(), lr=0.001)
for epoch in range(num_epochs):
    outputs = model(data)
    loss = criterion(outputs, targets)
    loss.backward()
    optimizer.step()
    optimizer.zero_grad()

# Evaluate the model
model.eval()
with torch.no_grad():
    outputs = model(data)
    accuracy = (outputs.argmax(dim=1) == targets).float().mean()
    print(f"Test Accuracy: {accuracy.item()}")

In this slide, we provide an example of a Topological Convolutional Neural Network (TCNN) for image classification tasks. The code assumes that the load_data_with_topology function returns the input data (e.g., images) and its corresponding topological information.

We define a TCNN model using the TopologicalConv2d layer, which does 2D convolutions while incorporating the topological information. The model consists of two TopologicalConv2d layers, followed by ReLU activations and max-pooling layers, and then fully connected layers for classification.

We use a cross-entropy loss function and an Adam optimizer to train the model on the data. During training, we perform forward passes through the model, compute the loss against the target labels, and update the model parameters accordingly. After training, we evaluate the model by computing the accuracy of the predicted outputs on the data.

This example shows you how to incorporate topological information into a CNN architecture, enabling the model to capture and process the topological structure of the input data, which can be beneficial for tasks involving non-Euclidean data representations.
