# G-Retriever
[](https://arxiv.org/abs/2402.07630)
This repository contains the source code for the paper ["G-Retriever: Retrieval-Augmented Generation for Textual Graph Understanding and Question Answering"](https://arxiv.org/abs/2402.07630).
We introduce **G-Retriever**, a flexible question-answering framework targeting real-world textual graphs, applicable to multiple applications including scene graph understanding, common sense reasoning, and knowledge graph reasoning.
**G-Retriever** integrates the strengths of Graph Neural Networks (GNNs), Large Language Models (LLMs), and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), and can be fine-tuned to enhance graph understanding via soft prompting.
## News

## Download the Llama 2 Model
1. Go to Hugging Face: https://huggingface.co/meta-llama/Llama-2-7b-hf. You will need to share your contact information with Meta to access this model.
2. Sign up for a Hugging Face account (if you don’t already have one).
3. Generate an access token: https://huggingface.co/docs/hub/en/security-tokens.
4. Add your token to the code file as follows:
```
From transformers import AutoModel
access_token = "hf_..."
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained("private/model", token=access_token)
```
## Data Preprocessing
```
# expla_graphs
python -m src.dataset.preprocess.expla_graphs
python -m src.dataset.expla_graphs
# scene_graphs, might take
python -m src.dataset.preprocess.scene_graphs
python -m src.dataset.scene_graphs
# webqsp
python -m src.dataset.preprocess.webqsp
python -m src.dataset.webqsp
```
## Training
Replace path to the llm checkpoints in the `src/model/__init__.py`, then run
### 1) Inference-Only LLM
```
python inference.py --dataset scene_graphs --model_name inference_llm --llm_model_name 7b_chat
```
### 2) Frozen LLM + Prompt Tuning
```
# prompt tuning
python train.py --dataset scene_graphs_baseline --model_name pt_llm
# G-Retriever
python train.py --dataset scene_graphs --model_name graph_llm
```
### 3) Tuned LLM
```
# finetune LLM with LoRA
python train.py --dataset scene_graphs_baseline --model_name llm --llm_frozen False
# G-Retriever with LoRA
python train.py --dataset scene_graphs --model_name graph_llm --llm_frozen False
```
## Reproducibility
Use `run.sh` to run the codes and reproduce the published results in the main table.
