GraphRNN generates realistic graphs using a deep auto-regressive model. This project aims to provide a flexible and effective method for creating synthetic graph datasets for various applications. The model learns the underlying statistical properties of graphs and generates new graphs that mimic these properties, offering a powerful alternative to traditional graph generation techniques.
GraphRNN's architecture allows generation of graphs with different structural characteristics. The implementation includes baseline models and well-defined evaluation metrics. The project offers comprehensive scripts for training, evaluation, and visualization, making it accessible for researchers and practitioners alike.
