DGL is an easy-to-use, high performance and scalable Python package for deep learning on graphs. DGL is framework agnostic, meaning if a deep graph model is a component of an end-to-end application, the rest of the logics can be implemented in any major frameworks, such as PyTorch, Apache MXNet or TensorFlow.

DGL News

09/05/2020: We invite you to participate in the survey here to make DGL better fit for your needs. Thanks!

08/21/2020: The new v0.5.0 release includes distributed GNN training, overhauled documentation and user guide, and several more features. We have also submitted some models to the OGB leaderboard. See our release note for more details.

06/11/2020: Amazon Shanghai AI Lab and AWS Deep Engine Science team working along with academic collaborators from the University of Minnesota, The Ohio State University, and Hunan University have created the Drug Repurposing Knowledge Graph (DRKG) and a set of machine learning tools, DGL-KE, that can be used to prioritize drugs for repurposing studies. DRKG is a comprehensive biological knowledge graph that relates human genes, compounds, biological processes, drug side effects, diseases and symptoms. DRKG includes, curates, and normalizes information from six publicly available databases and data that were collected from recent publications related to Covid-19. It has 97,238 entities belonging to 13 types of entities, and 5,874,261 triplets belonging to 107 types of relations. More about the dataset is in this blogpost.

Using DGL

A data scientist may want to apply a pre-trained model to your data right away. For this you can use DGL's Application packages, formally Model Zoo. Application packages are developed for domain applications, as is the case for DGL-LifeScience. We will soon add model zoo for knowledge graph embedding learning and recommender systems. Here's how you will use a pretrained model:

from dgllife.data import Tox21
from dgllife.model import load_pretrained
from dgllife.utils import smiles_to_bigraph, CanonicalAtomFeaturizer

dataset = Tox21(smiles_to_bigraph, CanonicalAtomFeaturizer())
model = load_pretrained('GCN_Tox21') # Pretrained model loaded
model.eval()

smiles, g, label, mask = dataset[0]
feats = g.ndata.pop('h')
label_pred = model(g, feats)
print(smiles)                   # CCOc1ccc2nc(S(N)(=O)=O)sc2c1
print(label_pred[:, mask != 0]) # Mask non-existing labels
# tensor([[ 1.4190, -0.1820,  1.2974,  1.4416,  0.6914,  
# 2.0957,  0.5919,  0.7715, 1.7273,  0.2070]])

Further reading: DGL is released as a managed service on AWS SageMaker, see the medium posts for an easy trip to DGL on SageMaker(part1 and part2).

Researchers can start from the growing list of models implemented in DGL. Developing new models does not mean that you have to start from scratch. Instead, you can reuse many pre-built modules. Here is how to get a standard two-layer graph convolutional model with a pre-built GraphConv module:

from dgl.nn.pytorch import GraphConv
import torch.nn.functional as F

# build a two-layer GCN with ReLU as the activation in between
class GCN(nn.Module):
    def __init__(self, in_feats, h_feats, num_classes):
        super(GCN, self).__init__()
        self.gcn_layer1 = GraphConv(in_feats, h_feats)
        self.gcn_layer2 = GraphConv(h_feats, num_classes)
    
    def forward(self, graph, inputs):
        h = self.gcn_layer1(graph, inputs)
        h = F.relu(h)
        h = self.gcn_layer2(graph, h)
        return h

Next level down, you may want to innovate your own module. DGL offers a succinct message-passing interface (see tutorial here). Here is how Graph Attention Network (GAT) is implemented (complete codes). Of course, you can also find GAT as a module GATConv:

import torch.nn as nn
import torch.nn.functional as F

# Define a GAT layer
class GATLayer(nn.Module):
    def __init__(self, in_feats, out_feats):
        super(GATLayer, self).__init__()
        self.linear_func = nn.Linear(in_feats, out_feats, bias=False)
        self.attention_func = nn.Linear(2 * out_feats, 1, bias=False)
        
    def edge_attention(self, edges):
        concat_z = torch.cat([edges.src['z'], edges.dst['z']], dim=1)
        src_e = self.attention_func(concat_z)
        src_e = F.leaky_relu(src_e)
        return {'e': src_e}
    
    def message_func(self, edges):
        return {'z': edges.src['z'], 'e':edges.data['e']}
        
    def reduce_func(self, nodes):
        a = F.softmax(nodes.mailbox['e'], dim=1)
        h = torch.sum(a * nodes.mailbox['z'], dim=1)
        return {'h': h}
                               
    def forward(self, graph, h):
        z = self.linear_func(h)
        graph.ndata['z'] = z
        graph.apply_edges(self.edge_attention)
        graph.update_all(self.message_func, self.reduce_func)
        return graph.ndata.pop('h')

Performance and Scalability

Microbenchmark on speed and memory usage: While leaving tensor and autograd functions to backend frameworks (e.g. PyTorch, MXNet, and TensorFlow), DGL aggressively optimizes storage and computation with its own kernels. Here's a comparison to another popular package -- PyTorch Geometric (PyG). The short story is that raw speed is similar, but DGL has much better memory management.

Dataset	Model	Accuracy	Time PyG    DGL	Memory PyG    DGL
Cora	GCN GAT	81.31 ± 0.88 83.98 ± 0.52	0.478    0.666 1.608    1.399	1.1    1.1 1.2    1.1
CiteSeer	GCN GAT	70.98 ± 0.68 69.96 ± 0.53	0.490    0.674 1.606    1.399	1.1    1.1 1.3    1.1
PubMed	GCN GAT	79.00 ± 0.41 77.65 ± 0.32	0.491    0.690 1.946    1.393	1.1    1.1 1.6    1.1
Reddit	GCN	93.46 ± 0.06	OOM   28.6	OOM    11.7
Reddit-S	GCN	N/A	29.12    9.44	15.7    3.6

Table: Training time(in seconds) for 200 epochs and memory consumption(GB)

Here is another comparison of DGL on TensorFlow backend with other TF-based GNN tools (training time in seconds for one epoch):

Dateset	Model	DGL	GraphNet	tf_geometric
Core	GCN	0.0148	0.0152	0.0192
Reddit	GCN	0.1095	OOM	OOM
PubMed	GCN	0.0156	0.0553	0.0185
PPI	GCN	0.09	0.16	0.21
Cora	GAT	0.0442	n/a	0.058
PPI	GAT	0.398	n/a	0.752

High memory utilization allows DGL to push the limit of single-GPU performance, as seen in below images.

Scalability: DGL has fully leveraged multiple GPUs in both one machine and clusters for increasing training speed, and has better performance than alternatives, as seen in below images.
