Graph Neural Networks (GNNs): Scratch to the cutting edge
Graph Neural Networks (GNNs): Scratch to the cutting edge, Learn GNNs through 100 + Resources: From Basics, key concepts, to Code Implementations in Python (StellarGraph & PyG).
Graph AI carries immense potential for us to explore, connect the dots and build intelligent applications using the Internet of Behaviors (IoB). Many Graph Neural Networks achieved state-of-the-art results on both node and graph classification tasks. However, despite GNNs revolutionizing graph representation learning, there is limited understanding of their area to the students. The purpose of this course is to unfold the basics to the cutting-edge concepts and technologies in this realm.
Graphs are all around us; real-world objects are often defined in terms of their connections to other things. A set of objects, and the connections between them, are naturally expressed as a Graph Neural Network (GCN). Recent developments have increased their capabilities and expressive power. They have profound applications in the realm of AI, fake news detection, traffic prediction to recommendation systems.
This course explores and explains modern AI graph neural networks. In this course, we look at what kind of data is most naturally phrased as a graph, and some common examples. Then we explore what makes graphs different from other types of data, and some of the specialized choices we have to make when using graphs. We then build a modern GNN, walking through each of the parts of the model and gradually to state-of-the-art AI GNN models. Finally, we provide a GNN playground where you can play around with a real-world task and dataset to build a stronger intuition of how each component of an AI GNN model contributes to the predictions it makes.
