Graph Neural Networks (GNN) are an emerging field for learning on non-Euclidean data. Recently, there has been increased interest in designing GNN that scales to large graphs. Most existing methods use "graph sampling" or "layer-wise sampling" techniques to reduce training time; However, these methods still suffer from degrading performance and scalability problems when applying to graphs with billions of edges. In this paper, we present GBP, a scalable GNN that utilizes a localized bidirectional propagation process from both the feature vector and the training/testing nodes. Theoretical analysis shows that GBP is the first method that achieves sub-linear time complexity for both the precomputation and the training phases. An extensive empirical study demonstrates that GBP achieves state-of-the-art performance with significantly less training/testing time. Most notably, GBP is able to deliver superior performance on a graph with over 60 million nodes and 1.8 billion edges in less than 2,000 seconds on a single machine.
