Graph Neural Networks in Action teaches you how to analyze and make predictions on data structured as graphs. You’ll work with graph convolutional networks, attention networks, and auto-encoders to take on tasks like node classification, link prediction, working with temporal data, and object classification. Along the way, you’ll learn the best methods for training and deploying GNNs at scale—all clearly illustrated with well-annotated Python code!
