PyTorch-BigGraph: Faster embeddings of large graphs

#artificialintelligence 

Working effectively with large graphs is crucial to advancing both the research and applications of artificial intelligence. So Facebook AI has created and is now open-sourcing PyTorch-BigGraph (PBG), a tool that makes it much faster and easier to produce graph embeddings for extremely large graphs -- in particular, multi-relation graph embeddings for graphs where the model is too large to fit in memory. PBG is faster than commonly used embedding software and produces embeddings of comparable quality to state-of-the-art models on standard benchmarks. With this new tool, anyone can take a large graph and quickly produce high-quality embeddings using a single machine or multiple machines in parallel. As an example, we are also releasing the first published embeddings of the full Wikidata graph of 50 million Wikipedia concepts, which serves as structured data for use in the AI research community.
