GraKeL: A library for graph kernels

GraKeL is a library compatible with the project of scikit-learn

Installation

The GraKeL library requires:

• Python (>=2.7, >=3.5)
• NumPy (>=1.8.2)
• SciPy (>=0.13.3)
• Cython (>=0.27.3)
• cvxopt (>=1.2.0) [optional: lovasz]
• future (>=0.16.0) (for python 2.7)

Installing Dependencies

You can install the dependencies as follows:

$ pip install extension>=extension_version

or

$ pip install -r requirements.txt

Installing the development-version

To install the development-version using pip execute:

$ pip install grakel-dev

Getting Started

Two pointers to get you started:

Testing

You first need to build the package's c++ extensions locally by executing:

$ python setup.py build_ext -i

To test the package, execute:

$ nosetests

For executing unit_tests or use a testing-interface for testing the kernel module:

$ python  grakel/tests/test_kernels.py --help
usage: test_kernels.py [-h] [--verbose] [--problematic] [--slow]
                       [--ignore_warnings] [--dataset DATASET] [--normalize]
                       [--develop | --all | --main]

A test file for all kernels

optional arguments:
  -h, --help         show this help message and exit
  --verbose          print kernels with their outputs on stdout
  --problematic      allow execution of problematic test cases in development
  --slow             allow execution of slow test cases in development
  --ignore_warnings  ignore warnings produced by kernel executions
  --dataset DATASET  chose the datset you want the tests to be executed
  --normalize        normalize the kernel output
  --develop          execute only tests connected with current development
  --all              execute all tests
  --main             execute the main tests [default]

For testing graph_kernels:

$ python grakel/tests/test_graph_kernel.py --help
usage: test_graph_kernels.py [-h] [--verbose] [--problematic] [--slow]
                             [--normalize] [--ignore_warnings]
                             [--dataset DATASET] [--develop | --all | --main]

A test file for all kernels

optional arguments:
  -h, --help         show this help message and exit
  --verbose          print kernels with their outputs on stdout
  --problematic      allow execution of problematic test cases in development
  --slow             allow execution of slow test cases in development
  --normalize        normalize the kernel output
  --ignore_warnings  ignore warnings produced by kernel executions
  --dataset DATASET  chose the datset you want the tests to be executed
  --develop          execute only tests connected with current development
  --all              execute all tests
  --main             execute the main tests [default]

And for testing the Graph class:

$ python grakel/tests/test_graph.py --help
usage: test_graph.py [-h] [--verbose] [--ignore_warnings]

A test file for all `Graph` type objects

optional arguments:
  -h, --help         show this help message and exit
  --verbose          verbose outputs on stdout
  --ignore_warnings  ignore warnings produced by kernel executions

You can also execute the kernel test locally through a test-main-function as

$ python -m grakel.tests

License

GraKeL comes with a BSD 3-clause license (as with scikit-learn). It contains the C++ source code of BLISS (a library for graph isomorphism) which is LGPL licensed. Futhermore its optional dependency in the package of cvxopt (a tool for solving convex-optimization problems) comes with a GPL license.
