SkyMap: a generative graph model for GNN benchmarking

Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have gained considerable attention in recent years. Despite the surge in innovative GNN architecture designs, research heavily relies on the same 5-10 benchmark datasets for validation. To address this limitation, several generative graph models like ALBTER or GenCAT hav...
