In this paper, we propose a Graph Inception Diffusion Networks(GIDN) model. This model generalizes graph diffusion in different feature spaces, and uses the inception module to avoid the large amount of computations caused by complex network structures. We evaluate GIDN model on Open Graph Benchmark(OGB) datasets, reached an 11% higher performance than AGDN on ogbl-collab dataset.

The emerging Graph Convolutional Network (GCN) has now been widely used in many domains, and it is challenging to improve the efficiencies of applications by accelerating the GCN trainings. For the sparsity nature and exploding scales of input real-world graphs, state-of-the-art GCN training systems (e.g., GNNAdvisor) employ graph processing techniques to accelerate the message exchanging (i.e. aggregations) among the graph vertices. Nevertheless, these systems treat both the aggregation stages of forward and backward propagation phases as all-active graph processing procedures that indiscriminately conduct computation on all vertices of an input graph. In this paper, we first point out that in a GCN training problem with a given training set, the aggregation stages of its backward propagation phase (called as backward aggregations in this paper) can be converted to partially-active graph processing procedures, which conduct computation on only partial vertices of the input graph. By leveraging such a finding, we propose an execution path preparing method that collects and coalesces the data used during backward propagations of GCN training conducted on GPUs. The experimental results show that compared with GNNAdvisor, our approach improves the performance of the backward aggregation of GCN trainings on typical real-world graphs by 1.48x~5.65x. Moreover, the execution path preparing can be conducted either before the training (during preprocessing) or on-the-fly with the training. When used during preprocessing, our approach improves the overall GCN training by 1.05x~1.37x. And when used on-the-fly, our approach improves the overall GCN training by 1.03x~1.35x.

Most evaluations of External Memory Module assume a static setting: memory is built offline and queried at a fixed state. In practice, memory is streaming: new facts arrive continuously, insertions interleave with retrievals, and the memory state evolves while the model is serving queries. In this regime, accuracy and cost are governed by the full memory lifecycle, which encompasses the ingestion, maintenance, retrieval, and integration of information into generation. We present Neuromem, a scalable testbed that benchmarks External Memory Modules under an interleaved insertion-and-retrieval protocol and decomposes its lifecycle into five dimensions including memory data structure, normalization strategy, consolidation policy, query formulation strategy, and context integration mechanism. Using three representative datasets LOCOMO, LONGMEMEVAL, and MEMORYAGENTBENCH, Neuromem evaluates interchangeable variants within a shared serving stack, reporting token-level F1 and insertion/retrieval latency. Overall, we observe that performance typically degrades as memory grows across rounds, and time-related queries remain the most challenging category. The memory data structure largely determines the attainable quality frontier, while aggressive compression and generative integration mechanisms mostly shift cost between insertion and retrieval with limited accuracy gain.
