ADGNN: Towards Scalable GNN Training with Aggregation-Difference Aware Sampling
Summary: ADGNN enables scalable full-batch GNN training with a hybrid sampling engine in distributed systems. It introduces Aggregation Difference (AD) to bound sampling impact, plus AD-Sampling with adaptive sampling and AD-importance sampling for remote nodes, with result reuse; achieving up to 9x efficiency and similar accuracy.
