In this paper, we present GRecX, an open-source TensorFlow framework for benchmarking GNN-based recommendation models in an efficient and unified way. GRecX consists of core libraries for building GNN-based recommendation benchmarks, as well as the implementations of popular GNN-based recommendation models. The core libraries provide essential components for building efficient and unified benchmarks, including FastMetrics (efficient metrics computation libraries), VectorSearch (efficient similarity search libraries for dense vectors), BatchEval (efficient mini-batch evaluation libraries), and DataManager (unified dataset management libraries). Especially, to provide a unified benchmark for the fair comparison of different complex GNN-based recommendation models, we design a new metric GRMF-X and integrate it into the FastMetrics component. Based on a TensorFlow GNN library tf_geometric, GRecX carefully implements a variety of popular GNN-based recommendation models. We carefully implement these baseline models to reproduce the performance reported in the literature, and our implementations are usually more efficient and friendly. In conclusion, GRecX enables uses to train and benchmark GNN-based recommendation baselines in an efficient and unified way. We conduct experiments with GRecX, and the experimental results show that GRecX allows us to train and benchmark GNN-based recommendation baselines in an efficient and unified way.
