torch_geometric.nn.aggr.VarAggregation

class VarAggregation(semi_grad: bool = False)[source]

Bases: Aggregation

An aggregation operator that takes the feature-wise variance across a set of elements.

\[\mathrm{var}(\mathcal{X}) = \mathrm{mean}(\{ \mathbf{x}_i^2 : x \in \mathcal{X} \}) - \mathrm{mean}(\mathcal{X})^2.\]
Parameters:

semi_grad (bool, optional) – If set to True, will turn off gradient calculation during \(E[X^2]\) computation. Therefore, only semi-gradients are used during backpropagation. Useful for saving memory and accelerating backward computation. (default: False)

forward(x: Tensor, index: Optional[Tensor] = None, ptr: Optional[Tensor] = None, dim_size: Optional[int] = None, dim: int = -2) Tensor[source]

Forward pass.

Parameters:
  • x (torch.Tensor) – The source tensor.

  • index (torch.Tensor, optional) – The indices of elements for applying the aggregation. One of index or ptr must be defined. (default: None)

  • ptr (torch.Tensor, optional) – If given, computes the aggregation based on sorted inputs in CSR representation. One of index or ptr must be defined. (default: None)

  • dim_size (int, optional) – The size of the output tensor at dimension dim after aggregation. (default: None)

  • dim (int, optional) – The dimension in which to aggregate. (default: -2)

  • max_num_elements – (int, optional): The maximum number of elements within a single aggregation group. (default: None)
