load own adjacency matrix and features

[xypan1232]

I have my own array for adjacency matrix and features, thus i did not use the load function in utils.py
Could I ask is it right for me to generate adjacency and feature data for training graph cnn. features and adj are full numpy array:

features = sp.csr_matrix(features, dtype=np.float32)
features = normalize(features)
features = np.array(features.todense())
adj = sp.csr_matrix(adj)
adj = normalize(adj + sp.eye(adj.shape[0]))
adj = sparse_mx_to_torch_sparse_tensor(adj)

Another question is that why need "adj + sp.eye(adj.shape[0])" if adj is an adjacency matrix? thanks.

To take a crack at your second question: we want to add the identity matrix to our adjacency matrix in order to add self-loops onto each node. If we did not do this, at each propagation we would only be aggregating the features of each node's neighborhood without accounting for the features of the node itself. Adding self-loops allows us to aggregate a node's features with its neighbor's features (because it acts as its own neighbor).
