dgl.svd_pe¶

dgl.svd_pe(g, k, padding=False, random_flip=True)[source]¶

SVD-based Positional Encoding, as introduced in Global Self-Attention as a Replacement for Graph Convolution

This function computes the largest \(k\) singular values and corresponding left and right singular vectors to form positional encodings.

Parameters

g (DGLGraph) – A DGLGraph to be encoded, which must be a homogeneous one.
k (int) – Number of largest singular values and corresponding singular vectors used for positional encoding.
padding (bool, optional) – If False, raise an error when \(k > N\), where \(N\) is the number of nodes in g. If True, add zero paddings in the end of encoding vectors when \(k > N\). Default : False.
random_flip (bool, optional) – If True, randomly flip the signs of encoding vectors. Proposed to be activated during training for better generalization. Default : True.

Returns

Return SVD-based positional encodings of shape \((N, 2k)\).

Return type

Tensor

>>> import dgl

>>> g = dgl.graph(([0,1,2,3,4,2,3,1,4,0], [2,3,1,4,0,0,1,2,3,4]))
