This package supplies management and utilities for graph datasets used to train graph neural networks and more specifically aimed at explainable AI (XAI) methods
W.r.t to the structure and management of these datasets this package employs a different philosophy. Instead of the usual minimal packaging to CSV files, a visual graph dataset (VGD) represents each dataset as a folder where each element is represented by two files:
json
file containing metadata information, including the full graph representationpng
file containing a canonical visualization of the graph.We believe that this dataset format provides the following examples:
First clone this repository:
.. code-block:: console
git clone https://github/aimat-lab/visual_graph_datasets.git
Then navigate into the cloned directory and install it like this:
.. code-block:: console
cd visual_graph_datasets
pip3 install -e .
Optional. Alternatively the package can also be installed using poetry <https://python-poetry.org/>
_
.. code-block:: console
poetry install
The package is also published to PyPi and can directly be installed like this:
.. code-block:: console
pip3 install visual_graph_datasets
The datasets are mainly intended to be used in combination with other packages, but this package provides some basic utilities to load and explore the datasets themselves within python programs.
.. code-block:: python
import os
import typing as t
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from visual_graph_datasets.config import Config
from visual_graph_datasets.web import ensure_dataset
from visual_graph_datasets.data import VisualGraphDatasetReader
from visual_graph_datasets.visualization.base import draw_image
from visual_graph_datasets.visualization.importances import plot_node_importances_border
from visual_graph_datasets.visualization.importances import plot_edge_importances_border
# This object will load the settings from the main config file. This config file contains options
# such as changing the default datasets folder and defining custom alternative file share providers
config = Config()
config.load()
# First of all we need to make sure that the dataset exists locally, this function will download it from
# the default file share provider if it does not exist.
ensure_dataset('rb_dual_motifs', config)
# Afterwards we can be sure that the datasets exists and can now load it from the default datasets path.
# The data will be loaded as a dictionary whose int keys are the indices of the corresponding elements
# and the values are dictionaries which contain all the relevant data about the dataset element,
# (Dataset format is explained below)
dataset_path = os.path.join(config.get_datasets_path(), 'rb_dual_motifs')
reader = VisualGraphDatasetReader(dataset_path)
data_index_map: t.Dict[int, dict] = reader.read()
# Using this information we can visualize the ground truth importance explanation annotations for one
# element of the dataset like this.
index = 0
data = data_index_map[index]
# This is the dictionary which represents the graph structure of the dataset element. Descriptive
# string keys and numpy array values.
g = data['metadata']['graph']
fig, ax = plt.subplots(ncols=1, nrows=1, figsize=(10, 10))
draw_image(ax, image_path=data['image_path'])
plot_node_importances_border(
ax=ax,
g=g,
node_positions=g['image_node_positions'],
node_importances=g['node_importances_2'][:, 0],
)
plot_edge_importances_border(
ax=ax,
g=g,
node_positions=g['image_node_positions'],
edge_importances=g['edge_importances_2'][:, 0],
)
fig_path = os.path.join(os.getcwd(), 'importances.pdf')
fig.savefig(fig_path)

_ folder.
The example files listed there are supposed to chronologically illustrate the most important features of the
package by example. Additionally, each example module contains abundant comments that describe each new feature
or concept.
Since datasets are not naturally given in the VGD format, one important feature is the conversion of datasets from their domain-specific representations into such VGD dataset. This process will be described in the following section. Generally, there exist some pre-implemented conversion functionality for some common dataset formats.
These standard implementations are in the format of pycomex
experiment modules, which can be
extended by sub experiment modules. Within these new experiment modules, only the global configurations
variables have to be adapted to a new, custom dataset.
One particularly important class of graph datasets is based on molecular graphs, which are especially relevant for the domains of chemistry and material science. Most often, datasets of molecular graphs are given as CSV files which contain the string SMILES representation of a molecule and some additional target value annotations to be trained on.
To convert such a dataset, you can extend the base experiment generate_molecule_dataset_from_csv.py
as
shown in the code example below. For this purpose simply create a NEW experiment file in the experiments
folder and inherit from the base experiment.
.. code-block:: python
"""new file: generate_molecule_dataset_from_csv__custom.py"""
import os
import typing as t
from pycomex.functional.experiment import Experiment
from pycomex.utils import folder_path, file_namespace
from visual_graph_datasets.util import EXPERIMENTS_PATH
# == CUSTOMIZE HERE ==
# Insert the absolute path to your CSV here
CSV_FILE_NAME: str = '../absolute/path/to/csv'
# This has to be the string name of the CSV column which contains
# the SMILES string representation of the molecules
SMILES_COLUMN_NAME: str = 'smiles'
# Define whether the dataset is regression or classification.
# NOTE: For classification, there has to be ONE COLUMN for EACH
# class, which contains a 0/1 boolean value for the class
# annotation.
TARGET_TYPE: str = 'regression' # alternatively: 'classification'
# This has to be the string name of the CSV column which contains the target value.
# You may also give multiple column names here for a multi-regression dataset or a
# classification dataset.
TARGET_COLUMN_NAMES: t.List[str] = ['value']
# A unique string name for the dataset
DATASET_NAME: str = 'custom'
# == DO NOT CHANGE ==
# This will invoke the actual implementation of the conversion. After this code has
# finished executing, you can find the dataset folder within the
# "results/generate_molecule_dataset_from_csv__custom" folder that has been created
experiment = Experiment.extend(
os.path.join(EXPERIMENTS_PATH, 'generate_molecule_dataset_from_csv.py'),
base_path=folder_path(__file__),
namespace=file_namespace(__file__),
glob=globals(),
)
experiment.run_if_main()
**NOTE**: We *strongly* encourage to store datasets on an SSD instead of an HDD, as this can make a
difference of multiple hours(!) when loading especially large datasets (100k+ elements).
Datasets can simply be downloaded by name by using the download
command:
.. code-block:: console
// Example for the dataset 'rb_dual_motifs'
python3 -m visual_graph_datasets.cli download "rb_dual_motifs"
By default this dataset will be downloaded into the folder $HOME/.visual_graph_datasets/datasets
where HOME is the current users home directory.
The dataset download destination can be changed in a config file by using the config
command:
.. code-block:: console
python3 -m visual_graph_datasets.cli config
This command will open the config file at $HOME/.visual_graph_datasets/config.yaml
using the systems
default text editor.
You can display a list of all the currently available datasets of the current remote file share provider
and some metadata information about them by using the command list
:
.. code-block:: console
python3 -m visual_graph_datasets.cli list
Visual Graph Datasets are represented as folders containing multiple files. The primary content of these dataset folders is made up of 2 files per element in the dataset:
A PNG file. This is the canonical visualization of the graph which can subsequently be used to create explanation visualizations as well. The pixel position of each node in the graph is attached as metadata of the graph representation.
A JSON file. Primarily contains the full graph representation consisting of node attributes, edge attributes, an edge list etc. May also contain custom metadata for each graph depending on the dataset.
Additionally, a dataset folder may also contain a .meta.yml
file which contains additional metadata about
the dataset as a whole.
Also, a dataset folder contains a python module process.py
it contains the standalone implementation
of the preprocessing procedure which turns a domain-specific graph representation (think of SMILES codes
for molecular graphs) into valid graph representations for that specific dataset.
This module can be imported and used directly from python code. Alternatively, the module can be used as a
standalone command line application for programming language agnostic preprocessing of elements.
One such metadata file belonging to one element of the dataset may have the following nested structure:
target
: a 1d array containing the target values for the element. For classification this usually
a one-hot encoded vector of classes already. For multi-task regression this vector may have an
arbitrary number of continuous regression targets. For single-task regression this will still be a
vector, albeit with the shape (1, )index
: The canonical index of this element within the datasettrain_split
optional) A list of int indices, where each index represents a different split.
if the number "1" is for example part of this list, that means that the corresponding element is
considered to be part of the training set of split "1". What each particular split is may be described
in the documentation of the dataset.test_split
optional) A list of int indices, where each index represents a different split.
if the number "1" is for example part of this list, that means that the corresponding element is
considered to be part of the test set of the split "1".graph
: A dictionary which contains the entire graph representation of this element.
node_indices
: array of shape (V, 1) with the integer node indices.node_attributes
: array of shape (V, N)edge_indices
: array of shape (E, 2) which are the tuples of integer node indices that
determine edgesedge_attributes
: array of shape (E, M)node_positions
array of shape (V, 2) which are the xy positions of each node in pixel
values within the corresponding image visualization of the element. This is the crucial
information which is required to use the existing image representations to visualize attributional
explanations!node_importances_{K}_{suffix}
optional) array of shape (V, K) containing ground truth node importance
explanations, which assign an importance value of 0 to 1 to each node of the graph across K channels.
One dataset element may have none or multiple such annotations with different suffixes
determining the number of explanation channels and origin.edge_importances_{K}_{suffix}
optional) array of shape (E, K) containing ground truth edge importance
explanations, which assign an importance value of 0 to 1 to each edge of the graph across K channels.
One dataset element may have none or multiple such annotations with different suffixes
determining the number of explanation channels and origin.Assuming the following shape definitions:
One such metadata file may have the following nested structure. Additionally, it may also contain custom additional fields depending on each dataset.
version
: A string determining the current version of the datasetdescription
: Short string description of what the dataset is about (for example where the data came
from, what types of graphs it consists of, what the prediction target is etc.)visualization_description
: String description of what can be seen in the visualization of the graph.
There are many different types of graphs out there which may have very domain specific visualizations.
This string should provide a short description of how the visualizations may be interpreted.references
: A list of strings, where each string is a short description of online resources which are
relevant to the dataset, usually including a URL. This could for example include references to scientific
publications where a dataset was first introduced.file_size
: The integer accumulated size of all the files that make up the dataset in bytes.num_elements
: The integer number of elements in the datasetnum_targets
: The size of the prediction target vectornum_node_attributes
: The size of the node attribute vectornum_edge_attributes
: The size of the edge attribute vectorHere is a list of the datasets currently uploaded on the main file share provider.
For more information about the individual datasets use the list
command in the CLI (see above).
