GEM VS LAGraph

Compare GEM vs LAGraph and see what are their differences.

LAGraph

This is a library plus a test harness for collecting algorithms that use the GraphBLAS. For test coverage reports, see https://graphblas.org/LAGraph/ . Documentation: https://lagraph.readthedocs.org (by GraphBLAS)

    Besides, they implemented a fast C++ version of the code that works for much larger graphs. If one searches for ProNE's implementation, they would (hypothetically) find the scikit-style wrapper instead of the fully-functional release. It reminds me of a situation with HOPE, when authors of one survey "implemented" it as naive SVD (https://github.com/palash1992/GEM/blob/master/gem/embedding/hope.py#L68) instead of Jacobi-Davidson generalized solver described in the paper (and literally with code released!!). In the end, I would assume that poor paper was less cited because of that repackaging effort.

    > you probably want more specialised tools like BLAS/LAPACK

    The GraphBLAS and LAGraph are sparse matrix optimized libraries for this exact purpose:

    I work on GraphBLAS, primarily on its LAGraph library and on tutorials. In the last few years, the GraphBLAS community has made a lot of progress on more efficient sparse matrix algorithms and porting graph algorithms to linear algebra – I hope LAGraph can play the role of a more efficient NetworkX in the future. The output of most LAGraph algorithms is a bunch of vectors/matrices so piping these into machine learning algorithms should be possible (and probably more efficient than using other representations).
