Benchmark Graph-Embedding Methods on a Climate-Network Dataset
Overview
What this challenge is about.
You benchmark Node2Vec, RGCN, and GraphSAGE on a climate graph. Report recall, cost, and neighborhood quality. Get a verifiable certificate.
The scenario
The nonprofit (around 35 staff, philanthropy-funded, partnerships with about 20 climate-research institutions) needs a defensible methodology choice because the graph powers a public-good search tool used by climate journalists.
The Brief
What you'll do, and what you'll demonstrate.
Pick the best-trade-off graph-embedding method for a 200M-edge climate knowledge graph by accuracy, cost, and qualitative neighborhood quality.
Earning criteria — what you'll demonstrate
- Apply scalable graph-embedding methods to a real heterogeneous graph
- Benchmark across accuracy and cost dimensions on a labeled test set
- Surface qualitative signal beyond aggregate metrics
- Communicate a methodology recommendation for a public-good system
