## Description
ULTRA is a foundation model for knowledge graph (KG) reasoning. A single pre-trained ULTRA model performs link prediction tasks on **any** multi-relational graph with any entity / relation vocabulary. Performance-wise averaged on 50+ KGs, a single pre-trained ULTRA model is better in the **0-shot** inference mode than many SOTA models trained specifically on each graph. Following the pretrain-finetune paradigm of foundation models, you can run a pre-trained ULTRA checkpoint **immediately in the zero-shot manner** on any graph as well as **use more fine-tuning**.

ULTRA provides **unified, learnable, transferable** representations for any KG. Under the hood, ULTRA employs graph neural networks and modified versions of NBFNet. ULTRA does not learn any entity and relation embeddings specific to a downstream graph but instead obtains relative relation representations based on interactions between relations.

## Checkpoints
Here on HuggingFace, we provide 3 pre-trained ULTRA checkpoints (all ~169k params) varying by the amount of pre-training data.

| Model | Training KGs |
| ------| --------------|
| [ultra_3g](https://huggingface.co/mgalkin/ultra_3g) | 3 graphs |
| [ultra_4g](https://huggingface.co/mgalkin/ultra_4g) | 4 graphs |
| [ultra_50g](https://huggingface.co/mgalkin/ultra_50g) | 50 graphs |

* [ultra_3g](https://huggingface.co/mgalkin/ultra_3g) and [ultra_4g](https://huggingface.co/mgalkin/ultra_4g) are the PyG models reported in the github repo;  
* [ultra_50g](https://huggingface.co/mgalkin/ultra_50g) is a new ULTRA checkpoint pre-trained on 50 different KGs (transductive and inductive) for 1M steps to maximize the performance on any unseen downstream KG.

## ⚡️ Your Superpowers 

ULTRA performs **link prediction** (KG completion): given a query `(head, relation, ?)`, it ranks all nodes in the graph as potential `tails`. 


1. Install the dependencies as listed in the Installation instructions on the [GitHub repo](https://github.com/DeepGraphLearning/ULTRA#installation).
2. Clone this model repo to find the `UltraLinkPrediction` class in `modeling.py` and load the checkpoint (all the necessary model code is in this model repo as well).

* Run **zero-shot inference** on any graph:

```python
from modeling import UltraLinkPrediction
from ultra.datasets import CoDExSmall
from ultra.eval import test
model = UltraLinkPrediction.from_pretrained("mgalkin/ultra_3g")
dataset = CoDExSmall(root="./datasets/")
test(model, mode="test", dataset=dataset, gpus=None)
# Expected results for ULTRA 4g
# mrr:      0.464
# hits@10:  0.666
```

* You can also **fine-tune** ULTRA on each graph, please refer to the [github repo](https://github.com/DeepGraphLearning/ULTRA#run-inference-and-fine-tuning) for more details on training / fine-tuning   
* The model code contains 57 different KGs, please refer to the [github repo](https://github.com/DeepGraphLearning/ULTRA#datasets) for more details on what's available.

Fine-tuning ULTRA on specific graphs brings, on average, further 10% relative performance boost both in MRR and Hits@10. See the paper for more comparisons.

**ULTRA 50g Performance**

ULTRA 50g was pre-trained on 50 graphs, so we can't really apply the zero-shot evaluation protocol to the graphs. 
However, we can compare with Supervised SOTA models trained from scratch on each dataset:

| Model | Avg MRR, Transductive graphs (16)| Avg Hits@10, Transductive graphs (16)|
| ----- | ---------------------------------| -------------------------------------|
| Supervised SOTA models   | 0.371 | 0.511 |
| ULTRA 50g (single model) | **0.389** | **0.549** |

That is, instead of training a big KG embedding model on your graph, you might want to consider running ULTRA (any of the checkpoints) as its performance might already be higher 🚀
