## News!

- 2022.12.30 New version! v0.4.0-pre is here!
    - We have proposed __NAS-Bench-Graph__ ([paper](https://openreview.net/pdf?id=bBff294gqLp), [code](https://github.com/THUMNLab/NAS-Bench-Graph), [tutorial](http://mn.cs.tsinghua.edu.cn/autogl/documentation/docfile/tutorial/t_nas_bench_graph.html)), the first NAS-benchmark for graphs published in NeurIPS'22. By using AutoGL together with NAS-Bench-Graph, the performance estimation process of GraphNAS algorithms can be greatly speeded up. 
    - We have supported the graph __robustness__ algorithms in AutoGL, including graph structure engineering, robust GNNs and robust GraphNAS. See [robustness tutorial](http://mn.cs.tsinghua.edu.cn/autogl/documentation/docfile/tutorial/t_robust.html) for more details.
    - We have supported graph __self-supervised learning__! See [self-supervised learning tutorial](http://mn.cs.tsinghua.edu.cn/autogl/documentation/docfile/tutorial/t_ssl_trainer.html) for more details.
- 2021.12.31 Version v0.3.0-pre is released
    - Support [__Deep Graph Library (DGL)__](https://www.dgl.ai/) backend including homogeneous node classification, link prediction, and graph classification tasks. AutoGL is also compatible with PyG 2.0 now.
    - Support __heterogeneous__ node classification! See [hetero tutorial](http://mn.cs.tsinghua.edu.cn/autogl/documentation/docfile/tutorial/t_hetero_node_clf.html) .
    - The module `model` now supports __decoupled__ to two additional sub-modules named `encoder` and `decoder`. Under the __decoupled__ design, one `encoder` can be used to solve all kinds of tasks.
    - Enrich [NAS algorithms](http://mn.cs.tsinghua.edu.cn/autogl/documentation/docfile/tutorial/t_nas.html) such as [AutoAttend](https://proceedings.mlr.press/v139/guan21a.html), [GASSO](https://proceedings.neurips.cc/paper/2021/hash/8c9f32e03aeb2e3000825c8c875c4edd-Abstract.html), [hardware-aware algorithm](http://mn.cs.tsinghua.edu.cn/autogl/documentation/docfile/documentation/nas.html#autogl.module.nas.estimator.OneShotEstimator_HardwareAware), etc. 
- 2021.07.11 Version 0.2.0-pre is released, which supports [neural architecture search (NAS)](http://mn.cs.tsinghua.edu.cn/autogl/documentation/docfile/tutorial/t_nas.html) to customize architectures, [sampling] (http://mn.cs.tsinghua.edu.cn/autogl/documentation/docfile/tutorial/t_trainer.html#node-classification-with-sampling) to perform tasks on large datasets, and link prediction. 
- 2021.04.16 Our survey paper about automated machine learning on graphs is accepted by IJCAI! See more [here](http://arxiv.org/abs/2103.00742).
- 2021.04.10 Our paper [__AutoGL: A Library for Automated Graph Learning__](https://arxiv.org/abs/2104.04987) is accepted by _ICLR 2021 Workshop on Geometrical and Topological Representation Learning_! You can cite our paper following methods [here](#Cite).

## Introduction

AutoGL is developed for researchers and developers to conduct autoML on graph datasets and tasks easily and quickly. See our documentation for detailed information!

The workflow below shows the overall framework of AutoGL.

<img src="./resources/workflow.svg">

AutoGL uses `datasets` to maintain datasets for graph-based machine learning, which is based on Dataset in PyTorch Geometric or Deep Graph Library with some functions added to support the auto solver framework.

Different graph-based machine learning tasks are handled by different `AutoGL solvers`, which make use of five main modules to automatically solve given tasks, namely `auto feature engineer`, `neural architecture search`, `auto model`, `hyperparameter optimization`, and `auto ensemble`. 

Currently, the following algorithms are supported in AutoGL:
