Graph Neural Networks with PyTorch For Beginners (Paperback)

Paperback. Graph Neural Networks with PyTorch For Beginners introduces the concepts and practical techniques needed to understand and build Graph Neural Networks using PyTorch-based tools and workflows.Traditional neural networks work naturally with images, sequences, and other structured data, but many real-world problems involve relationships between entities. Social networks, recommendation systems, knowledge graphs, molecular structures, fraud networks, and transportation systems can all be represented as graphs. Graph Neural Networks provide a powerful approach for learning from both the features of individual entities and the relationships connecting them.This book introduces graph concepts before progressively exploring graph representations, message passing, graph convolution, node classification, link prediction, graph classification, graph attention, graph datasets, training workflows, and practical GNN applications.What You Will LearnUnderstand graphs, nodes, edges, features, and graph representationsLearn the foundations of Graph Neural NetworksUnderstand message-passing neural networksBuild GNN models with PyTorch-based toolingWork with graph datasets and graph structuresPerform node classification and link predictionBuild graph-level classification modelsExplore graph convolution and attention mechanismsTrain, evaluate, and improve GNN modelsHandle common challenges in graph machine learningApply GNNs to practical machine learning problemsDevelop a foundation for more advanced graph learning and GraphRAG systemsDesigned for readers who already have some familiarity with Python and basic machine learning concepts, this book provides an accessible path into graph-based deep learning while maintaining a strong emphasis on practical implementation.By the end of the book, readers will understand how Graph Neural Networks work, how to implement them, and how to approach real-world problems where relationships and connectivity are as important as the data attached to individual entities.
