Graph Neural Networks Explained with Examples

Training a graph neural network model

Graph neural networks (GNNs) are a relatively new area in the field of deep learning. They arose from graph theory and machine learning, where the graph is a mathematical structure that models pairwise relations between objects. Graph Neural Networks are able to learn graph structures for different data sets, which means they can generalize well to new datasets – this makes them an ideal choice for many real-world problems like social network analysis or financial risk prediction. This post will cover some of the key concepts behind graph neural networks with the help of multiple examples. What are graph neural networks (GNNs)? Graphs are data structures which are used to …
