How to generate .p files?

[Mah-Zam]

Hello Dear Author, I got interested in your research project while I have a question. May I know how did you generate the .p files for datasets? I need to generate a new one for my datasets. Thank you so much

Hi Mah-Zam,

Thanks for your question.

The .p files you see in the datasets are pickled networkx graph lists. They are generated by using functions defined in /utilities/data_format_converters.py. If your dataset does not follow the format of dataset found on Dortmund's site, you will need to create your own custom function to parse your dataset into a networkx graph list. You can see the various parsing functions in the same .py file for an idea on how to do this.
