ThinkMatch is developed and maintained by ThinkLab at Shanghai Jiao Tong University. This repository is developed for the following purposes:
- Providing modules for developing deep graph matching algorithms to facilitate future research.
- Providing implementation of state-of-the-art deep graph matching methods.
- Benchmarking existing deep graph matching algorithms under different dataset & experiment settings, for the purpose of fair comparison.

Graph Matching (GM) is a fundamental yet challenging problem in computer vision, pattern recognition and data mining. GM aims to find node-to-node correspondence among multiple graphs, by solving an NP-hard combinatorial problem named Quadratic Assignment Problem (QAP). Recently, there is growing interest in developing deep learning based graph matching methods.
Graph matching techniques have been applied to the following applications:
In this repository, we mainly focus on image keypoint matching because it is a popular testbed for existing graph matching methods.

ThinkMatch is designed as a research protocol for deep graph matching. It is recommended if you have any of the following demands:
- Developing new algorithms and publishing new graph matching papers;
- Understanding the details of deep graph matching models;
- Playing around with the hyperparameters and network details;
- Benchmarking deep graph matching networks.
You may find the environment setup in ThinkMatch complicated and the details of graph matching hard to understand.
pygmtools
offers a user-friendly API, and is recommended for the following cases:
- If you want to integrate graph matching as a step of your pipeline (either learning or non-learning,
with
numpy
/pytorch
/jittor
/paddle
/mindspore
/tensorflow
). - If you want a quick benchmarking and profiling of the graph matching solvers available in
pygmtools
. - If you do not want to dive too deep into the algorithm details and do not need to modify the algorithm.
You can simply install the user-friendly package by
$ pip install pygmtools

ThinkMatch includes the flowing datasets with the provided benchmarks:
- PascalVOC-Keypoint
- Willow-Object-Class
- CUB2011
- SPair-71k
- IMC-PT-SparseGM
TODO We also plan to include the following datasets in the future:

ThinkMatch also supports the following graph matching settings:
- 2GM namely Two-Graph Matching where every time only a pair of two graphs is matched.
- MGM namely Multi-Graph Matching where more than two graphs are jointly matched.
- MGM3 namely Multi-Graph Matching with a Mixture of Modes, where multiple graphs are jointly considered, and at the same time the graphs may come from different categories.
