can SGC handle directed graph? #21

Closed ghost closed 4 years ago

ghost commented 4 years ago

GCN can handle directed graph when adjacency matrix is allowed to be asymmetric and normalized with D^-1 * A. Is it possible to have SGC handle directed graph as well? Thanks

hi, thank you for your interest for SGC.

-- Is is possible? Yes! I believe if you just change your adjacency matrix and follow the code in this repo, it should work.

-- will it work well? I don't really know. I think it is very difficult to know before actually trying it out and personally I havn't tried it. It will probably, just like many other machine learning problems, depend on the dataset you are working with.

But I encourage to try SGC out! If you are starting to work on something new, why not try this simple and fast baseline? Good luck!
