User-defined function related data structures

User-defined function related data structures.

There are two types of user-defined functions in DGL:

  • Node UDF of signature NodeBatch -> dict. The argument represents a batch of nodes. The returned dictionary should have str type key and tensor type values.
  • Edge UDF of signature EdgeBatch -> dict. The argument represents a batch of edges. The returned dictionary should have str type key and tensor type values.

Note: the size of the batch dimension is determined by the DGL framework for good efficiency and small memory footprint. Users should not make assumption in the batch dimension.

EdgeBatch

The class that can represent a batch of edges.

EdgeBatch.src Return the feature data of the source nodes.
EdgeBatch.dst Return the feature data of the destination nodes.
EdgeBatch.data Return the edge feature data.
EdgeBatch.edges() Return the edges contained in this batch.
EdgeBatch.batch_size() Return the number of edges in this edge batch.
EdgeBatch.__len__() Return the number of edges in this edge batch.

NodeBatch

The class that can represent a batch of nodes.

NodeBatch.data Return the node feature data.
NodeBatch.mailbox Return the received messages.
NodeBatch.nodes() Return the nodes contained in this batch.
NodeBatch.batch_size() Return the number of nodes in this batch.
NodeBatch.__len__() Return the number of nodes in this node batch.
