confused about the dataset

[sunnyHelen]

Thank you for sharing your work. I'm confused about the dataset you deal with.
edges = pd.read_csv('data/LFR/nets01/network'+str(i)+'.dat', sep='\t', header=None)
groups =pd.read_csv('data/LFR/nets01/community'+str(i)+'.dat', sep='\t', header=None)
Are all the 'network' file and 'community file' belong to the same Graph?
And what the meaning of groups?

Hello,
So the network_i and the community_i files correspond to the same graph. The difference is that network_i has the edges, so the nodes ids, and community_i encodes the community structure of the network_i, e.g the group or cluster to which the nodes belong to.
Hope it helps!

So if my dataset doesn't have community or cluster label, can I use your model to generate a good embedding of a graph?

[leoguti85]

Sure, the community in that example is only necessary to put colors on the scatter plot, but learning the graph embedding does not require any community information.

Great. Thank you very much~
