Course Content

This course introduces the theory and applications of Graph Neural Networks (GNNs). a class of neural networks designed for graph-structured data. It covers foundational topics in graph theory and deep learning. with a focus on GNN architectures. including Graph Convolutional Networks (GCNs). Graph Attention Networks (GATs). and other advanced models. Students will explore real-world applications of GNNs. such as social network analysis. recommendation systems. and drug discovery. and gain hands-on experience in implementing and applying GNN models.
