Dealing with many small graphs

  sentences of natural languages have inherent structures, which are thrown
  away by treating them simply as sequences. Tree-LSTM is a powerful model
  that learns the representation by leveraging prior syntactic structures
  (e.g. parse-tree). The challenge to train it well is that simply by padding
  a sentence to the maximum length no longer works, since trees of different
  sentences have different sizes and topologies. DGL solves this problem by
  throwing the trees into a bigger "container" graph, and use message-passing
  to explore maximum parallelism. The key API we use is batching.
