This implementation is written in Python 3.6 and uses Tensorflow 1.4.1.

Requirements

Install the reqirements via
pip install -r requirements.txt

Note that the modules powerlaw and python-igraph are only needed to compute the graph statistics. If you only want to run NetGAN, feel free to comment out the respective parts of the code.

Run the code

To try our code, the best way to do so is to use the IPython notebook demo.ipynb

Pre-trained models used in the paper

Run graph_generation_pretrained.ipynb and link_prediction_pretrained.ipynb to try our pre-trained models on Cora-ML.

Latent variable interpolation

Run latent_interpolation.ipynb to run latent variable interpolation experiments as in the paper.

Installation

To install the package, run python setup.py install.
