| # The GraphTide Real-World Dynamic Graph Datasets |
|
|
| GraphTide is a collection of large-scale, real-world dynamic graph |
| datasets with authentic temporal information. It supports experimental |
| evaluation of streaming graph algorithms, dynamic graph systems, and |
| temporal graph analysis. |
|
|
| Source code, I/O and validation tools, and documentation are available |
| in the [GraphTide GitHub repository](https://github.com/wheatman/GraphTide). |
|
|
| ## Graph Types |
|
|
| - **Signal graphs** record timestamped interactions, such as |
| transactions, comments, commits, and trips. |
| - **Update graphs** record explicit edge insertions and deletions, |
| allowing the graph state to be reconstructed over time. |
|
|
| Files are organized as: |
|
|
| ```text |
| signal_graphs/ Timestamped edge-event streams |
| update_graphs/ Explicit edge insertion/deletion streams |
| ``` |
|
|
| ## Datasets |
|
|
| All currently released graphs are unweighted. `Unique Edges` denotes |
| the number of distinct endpoint pairs, while `Events` denotes the |
| number of temporal signals or updates. |
|

|
| ## Download |
|
|
| Install the Hugging Face tools: |
|
|
| ```bash |
| pip install -U huggingface_hub hf_xet |
| ``` |
|
|
| Download one dataset: |
|
|
| ```bash |
| hf download DynamicGraphsProvider/GraphTide \ |
| signal_graphs/soc-youtube-growth.bin \ |
| --repo-type dataset \ |
| --local-dir GraphTide-data |
| ``` |
|
|
| Download the complete collection: |
|
|
| ```bash |
| hf download DynamicGraphsProvider/GraphTide \ |
| --repo-type dataset \ |
| --local-dir GraphTide-data |
| ``` |
|
|
| The complete collection is large, so downloading individual files is |
| recommended. |
|
|
| ## Reading and Validation |
|
|
| Install the GraphTide tools: |
|
|
| ```bash |
| git clone https://github.com/wheatman/GraphTide.git GraphTide-code |
| python -m pip install -e ./GraphTide-code |
| ``` |
|
|
| Read a header or load a graph: |
|
|
| ```python |
| from pybinding import read_header, read_bin |
| |
| path = "GraphTide-data/signal_graphs/soc-youtube-growth.bin" |
| |
| header = read_header(path) |
| header, data = read_bin(path) |
| ``` |
|
|
| Large datasets should be processed with the streaming C++ I/O |
| interface rather than loaded completely into memory. |
|
|
| Validate a binary graph: |
|
|
| ```bash |
| cd GraphTide-code |
| python -m pybinding.validate /path/to/dataset.bin |
| ``` |
|
|
| For an update graph, the optional stateful check also validates the |
| insertion/deletion sequence: |
|
|
| ```bash |
| python -m pybinding.validate /path/to/dataset.bin \ |
| --check-update-sequence |
| ``` |
|
|
| ## Binary Format |
|
|
| Each file contains a 32-byte little-endian header followed by tightly |
| packed records: |
|
|
| ```text |
| src, dst, [timestamp], [weight], [info] |
| ``` |
|
|
| The header specifies the graph type, direction, data types, number of |
| vertices, unique edges, and temporal records. For update graphs, |
| `info=0` denotes insertion and `info=1` denotes deletion. |
|
|
| See the complete |
| [binary format specification](https://github.com/wheatman/GraphTide/blob/main/IO/README.md). |
|
|
| ## Contributing a Dataset |
|
|
| Providing the original parser is encouraged but not required. |
|
|
| Before uploading a large file, open a |
| [New dataset proposal](https://github.com/wheatman/GraphTide/issues/new?template=new-dataset.yml) |
| describing the source, license, graph semantics, timestamps, cleaning |
| decisions, and approximate size. |
|
|
| After approval, validate the graph and upload it through a Hugging Face |
| pull request: |
|
|
| ```bash |
| hf auth login |
| |
| hf upload DynamicGraphsProvider/GraphTide \ |
| /path/to/dataset.bin signal_graphs/DATASET_ID.bin \ |
| --repo-type dataset \ |
| --create-pr \ |
| --commit-message "Add DATASET_ID dynamic graph" |
| ``` |
|
|
| Use `update_graphs/DATASET_ID.bin` for an update graph, and link the |
| Hugging Face pull request from the original GitHub proposal. |
