Graph databases enable faster GNN training and inference

Researchers have explored the use of graph databases for training and inference of Graph Neural Networks (GNNs), moving beyond traditional in-memory storage. Their work demonstrates that graph databases can directly execute sampling, feature retrieval, and even the full forward pass of GNNs using query languages like Cypher. This approach offers significant performance improvements, with training speeds boosted by approximately 2.5x and inference speeds over 10x faster than conventional methods, all without additional memory overhead.

    Towards Training and Inference of Graph Neural Networks in Graph Databases

    Graph Neural Networks on large graphs commonly rely on in-memory graph storage with ad hoc data processing pipelines for both training and inference. Graph databases provide scalable storage and efficient traversal for graphs that can evolve over time, but their applicability in …
