# GNN Embeddings

**Status:** ✅ COMPLETE  
**Version:** 1.0  
**Date:** 31. Oktober 2025  
**Tests:** 13/13 Passing  

## Overview

The GNN (Graph Neural Network) Embeddings module provides graph embedding generation for nodes, edges, and entire graphs. It enables machine learning workflows like node classification, link prediction, and graph similarity search by converting graph structures into dense vector representations.

## Architecture

```
GNNEmbeddingManager
├─ Feature Extraction (from BaseEntity fields)
├─ Embedding Computation (feature-based MVP, extensible to GNN models)
├─ Storage Layer (RocksDB + VectorIndexManager)
├─ Similarity Search (HNSW-based KNN)
└─ Model Registry (multiple embedding models per graph)
```

**Components:**
- **PropertyGraphManager:** Provides graph structure (nodes, edges, labels, types)
- **VectorIndexManager:** Stores embeddings for similarity search (HNSW index)
- **RocksDBWrapper:** Persists embeddings for retrieval
- **BaseEntity:** Flexible entity storage with type-safe field access

## Features

### 1. Node Embeddings

Generate embeddings for all nodes with a specific label:

```cpp
GNNEmbeddingManager gem(db, pgm, vim);

// Register model
gem.registerModel("my_model", "GraphSAGE", 128);

// Generate embeddings for all "Person" nodes
auto st = gem.generateNodeEmbeddings("graph1", "Person", "my_model");

// Update single node embedding
auto st2 = gem.updateNodeEmbedding("person123", "graph1", "my_model");

// Retrieve embedding
auto [st3, embInfo] = gem.getNodeEmbedding("person123", "graph1", "my_model");
std::vector<float> embedding = embInfo.embedding;  // 128-dim vector
```

**Use Cases:**
- Node classification (predict node labels)
- Clustering (group similar nodes)
- Anomaly detection (find outliers)

### 2. Edge Embeddings

Generate embeddings for relationships:

```cpp
// Generate embeddings for all "KNOWS" edges
auto st = gem.generateEdgeEmbeddings("graph1", "KNOWS", "my_model");

// Update single edge
auto st2 = gem.updateEdgeEmbedding("edge456", "graph1", "my_model");

// Retrieve
auto [st3, embInfo] = gem.getEdgeEmbedding("edge456", "graph1", "my_model");
```

**Use Cases:**
- Link prediction (predict missing edges)
- Relationship classification
- Edge importance scoring

### 3. Graph-Level Embeddings

Aggregate node embeddings to represent entire graphs:

```cpp
// Mean pooling
auto [st, graphEmb] = gem.generateGraphEmbedding("graph1", "my_model", "mean");

// Sum pooling
auto [st2, graphEmbSum] = gem.generateGraphEmbedding("graph1", "my_model", "sum");

// Max pooling
auto [st3, graphEmbMax] = gem.generateGraphEmbedding("graph1", "my_model", "max");
```

**Aggregation Methods:**
- `mean`: Average of all node embeddings (good for balanced graphs)
- `sum`: Sum of embeddings (sensitive to graph size)
- `max`: Element-wise maximum (captures extreme features)

**Use Cases:**
- Graph classification (classify entire graphs)
- Graph similarity (compare graphs)
- Graph clustering

### 4. Similarity Search

Find similar nodes or edges using vector similarity:

```cpp
// Find 10 similar nodes to person123
auto [st, similar] = gem.findSimilarNodes("person123", "graph1", 10, "my_model");

for (const auto& res : similar) {
    std::cout << "Node: " << res.entity_id 
              << " Similarity: " << res.similarity << "\n";
}

// Find similar edges
auto [st2, simEdges] = gem.findSimilarEdges("edge456", "graph1", 5, "my_model");
```

**Similarity Metric:** Cosine similarity (1 - L2 distance from HNSW)

**Use Cases:**
- Recommendation (find similar users/items)
- Duplicate detection
- Entity resolution

### 5. Model Management

Support multiple embedding models per graph:

```cpp
// Register models with different dimensions
gem.registerModel("small_model", "GraphSAGE", 64);
gem.registerModel("large_model", "GraphSAGE", 256);

// List all models
auto [st, models] = gem.listModels();
// models = ["small_model", "large_model"]

// Get model info
auto [st2, info] = gem.getModelInfo("large_model");
// info.embedding_dim = 256
// info.type = "GraphSAGE"
```

**Model Types:**
- `feature_based`: Simple feature aggregation (current MVP)
- `GraphSAGE`: Inductive graph learning (future)
- `GAT`: Graph Attention Networks (future)
- `GCN`: Graph Convolutional Networks (future)

### 6. Batch Operations

Efficient processing of multiple entities:

```cpp
std::vector<std::string> node_pks = {"person1", "person2", "person3"};

// Process in batches of 32
auto st = gem.generateNodeEmbeddingsBatch(node_pks, "graph1", "my_model", 32);

// Edge batching
std::vector<std::string> edge_ids = {...};
auto st2 = gem.generateEdgeEmbeddingsBatch(edge_ids, "graph1", "my_model", 32);
```

**Benefits:**
- Reduced database roundtrips
- Better memory locality
- Progress monitoring

### 7. Statistics & Monitoring

Track embedding generation:

```cpp
auto [st, stats] = gem.getStats();

std::cout << "Total node embeddings: " << stats.total_node_embeddings << "\n";
std::cout << "Total edge embeddings: " << stats.total_edge_embeddings << "\n";

for (const auto& [model, count] : stats.embeddings_per_model) {
    std::cout << "Model " << model << ": " << count << " embeddings\n";
}
```

## Implementation Details

### Feature Extraction

Current MVP extracts numeric features from BaseEntity fields:

```cpp
std::vector<float> extractFeatures_(
    const BaseEntity& entity,
    const std::vector<std::string>& feature_fields
) {
    std::vector<float> features;
    
    for (const auto& field : feature_fields) {
        auto intVal = entity.getFieldAsInt(field);
        if (intVal.has_value()) {
            features.push_back(static_cast<float>(*intVal));
            continue;
        }
        
        auto doubleVal = entity.getFieldAsDouble(field);
        if (doubleVal.has_value()) {
            features.push_back(static_cast<float>(*doubleVal));
        }
    }
    
    return features;
}
```

**Default Fields (if none specified):**
- `age`, `score`, `rating`, `count`, `value`

**Future:** Support categorical encoding, text embeddings (Sentence-BERT), image features

### Embedding Computation (MVP)

Simple normalized feature aggregation:

```cpp
std::vector<float> computeEmbedding_(
    const std::vector<float>& features,
    int target_dim
) {
    // 1. Copy/pad features to target dimension
    std::vector<float> embedding(target_dim, 0.0f);
    std::copy(features.begin(), 
              features.begin() + std::min(features.size(), target_dim),
              embedding.begin());
    
    // 2. L2 normalization
    float norm = std::sqrt(std::inner_product(
        embedding.begin(), embedding.end(), 
        embedding.begin(), 0.0f));
    
    if (norm > 0.0f) {
        for (float& val : embedding) {
            val /= norm;
        }
    }
    
    return embedding;
}
```

**Future GNN Integration:**
- Load pretrained GNN models (PyTorch C++ API)
- Online GNN training (incremental updates)
- Neighbor aggregation (GraphSAGE, GAT)

### Storage Architecture

Dual storage for efficiency:

```cpp
// 1. Store in RocksDB (for retrieval)
std::string embKey = "gnn_emb:node:graph1:model:person123";
db_.put(embKey, embEntity.serialize());

// 2. Add to vector index (for similarity search)
vim_.addEntity(embEntity, "embedding");
```

**Key Schema:**
- Node: `gnn_emb:node:<graph_id>:<model_name>:<node_pk>`
- Edge: `gnn_emb:edge:<graph_id>:<model_name>:<edge_id>`

**Metadata:**
- `entity_id`: Original node/edge ID
- `entity_type`: "node" or "edge"
- `graph_id`: Multi-graph isolation
- `model_name`: Model used for generation
- `timestamp`: Creation/update time
- `embedding`: Dense vector (std::vector<float>)

### Multi-Graph Isolation

Embeddings are isolated per graph:

```cpp
// Graph 1: person123 embedding
gem.updateNodeEmbedding("person123", "graph1", "model");

// Graph 2: person123 embedding (different entity!)
gem.updateNodeEmbedding("person123", "graph2", "model");

// Similarity search only within same graph
auto [st, similar] = gem.findSimilarNodes("person123", "graph1", 10, "model");
// Result: Only nodes from graph1, never from graph2
```

**Implementation:** Graph ID is part of embedding key + similarity search filters
