GraphVite - graph embedding at high speed and large scale¶
GraphVite is a general graph embedding engine, dedicated to high-speed and large-scale embedding learning in various applications. By cooperating CPUs and GPUs for learning, it scales to million-scale or even billion-scale graphs. With its Python interface, you can easily practice advanced graph embedding algorithms, and get results in incredibly short time.
Try GraphVite if you have any of the following demands.
You want to reproduce graph learning algorithms on a uniform platform.
You need fast visualization for graphs or high-dimensional data.
You are tired of waiting a long time for prototyping or tuning models.
You need to learn representations of large graphs or knowledge graphs.
Generally, GraphVite provides complete training and evaluation pipelines for 3 applications: node embedding, knowledge graph embedding and graph & high-dimensional data visualization. Besides, it also includes 9 popular models, along with their benchmarks on a bunch of standard datasets.
