GraphTSNE on the Cora Citation Network

Codes

The code demo_notebook.ipynb creates a visualization of the Cora citation network using GraphTSNE. The original Cora dataset and other citation networks can be found here: http://linqs.cs.umd.edu/projects/projects/lbc/.

The notebook takes roughly 3 minutes to run with GPU, or 8 minutes with CPU.

Installation

# Install Python libraries using conda
conda env create -f environment.yml
conda activate graph_tsne
python -m ipykernel install --user --name graph_tsne --display-name "graph_tsne"

# Run the notebook
jupyter notebook

When should I use this algorithm?

For visualizing graph-structured data such as social networks, functional brain networks and gene-regulatory networks. Concretely, graph-structured datasets contain two sources of information: graph connectivity between nodes and node features.
