Description

Graph neural networks are a highly effective tool for analyzing data that can be represented as a graph, such as networks, chemical compounds, or transportation networks. The past few years have seen an explosion in the use of graph neural networks, with their application ranging from natural language processing and computer vision to recommendation systems and drug discovery. Hands-On Graph Neural Networks Using Python begins with the fundamentals of graph theory and shows you how to create graph datasets from tabular data. As you advance, you’ll explore major graph neural network architectures and learn essential concepts such as graph convolution, self-attention, link prediction, and heterogeneous graphs. Finally, the book proposes applications to solve real-life problems, enabling you to build a professional portfolio. The code is readily available online and can be easily adapted to other datasets and apps. By the end of this book, you’ll have learned to create graph datasets, implement graph neural networks using Python and PyTorch Geometric, and apply them to solve real-world problems, along with building and training graph neural network models for node and graph classification, link prediction, and much more.

What are credits?

Credits can be earned from reading 40 section of any title within the payment cycle - a month starting from the day of subscription payment. You also earn a Credit every month if you subscribe to our annual or 18 month plans. Credits can be used to buy books DRM free, the same way that you would pay for a book. Your credits can be found in the subscription homepage - subscription.packtpub.com - clicking on ‘the my’ library dropdown and selecting ‘credits’.

What happens if an Early Access Course is cancelled?

Projects are rarely cancelled, but sometimes it's unavoidable. If an Early Access course is cancelled or excessively delayed, you can exchange your purchase for another course. For further details, please contact us here.

Where can I send feedback about an Early Access title?

If you have any feedback about the product you're reading, or Early Access in general, then please fill out a contact form here and we'll make sure the feedback gets to the right team.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles?

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date?

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready?

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter. The new chapters are automatically added to your account, so you can also check back there any time you're ready and download or read them online.

I am a Packt subscriber, do I get Early Access?

Yes, all Early Access content is fully available through your subscription. You will need to have a paid for or active trial subscription in order to access all titles.

How is Early Access delivered?

Early Access is currently only available as a PDF or through our online reader. As we make changes or add new chapters, the files in your Packt account will be updated so you can download them again or view them online immediately.

How do I buy Early Access content?

Early Access is a way of us getting our content to you quicker, but the method of buying the Early Access course is still the same. Just find the course you want to buy, go through the check-out steps, and you’ll get a confirmation email from us with information and a link to the relevant Early Access courses.

What is Early Access?

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.

SEAN W. GRANT Jun 19, 2023

Trying to understand what graph neural networks (GNN's) are, let alone how to use them can be difficult and intimidating. In recent times, GNN's have become a hot topic and this book does a great job of introducing them and showing use cases of how they can be helpful to provide deeper insights. It is geared towards folks with a technical background and are comfortable with python (hence the "Hands On" part). I found the illustrations to be very helpful in explaining the technical concepts more and the links to further reading were good to reference if I wanted to go deeper on some topics. One part I really enjoyed was the spatio-temporal GNN on dynamic graphs. This has a lot of real-world applications, and the author did a fantastic job of explaining the problem, describing the GNN and its limitations then walking through the code to get a prediction.Overall this is a must have book to have on the shelf if you want to start to dive into the world of deep learning on graphs!

The book stands as a guiding light for those exploring the realm of GNN. Effortlessly merging basic graph theory with advanced methods, it provides a hands-on exploration of its applications, enriched by real-world instances. The inclusion of interactive Jupyter Notebooks on GitHub enhances the reader's journey, facilitating hands-on experiments on platforms such as Google Colab. Harmonizing theoretical insights with practical demonstrations, it's a must-have for anyone, whether new or experienced in GNN. A top recommendation!

This book comprehensively introduces graph neural networks, effectively demystifying complex concepts. Its practical approach to implementation using Python and PyTorch Geometric is commendable. Readers will master classifying nodes, graphs, and edges with millions of samples, and predicting realistic graph topologies. Particularly noteworthy is the book's focus on performance improvement via heterogeneous sources and applying topological information for future event forecasting. The real-world problem-solving focus of the book adds a pragmatic edge, making it an invaluable resource for both novice and experienced practitioners in the field. It's a must-read for anyone interested in graph neural networks.

This is one of the best books to pick up Graph Neural Networks today. The book takes the reader from basics of Graphs to modern techniques like Graph Attention Networks. the the special focus on applications shows the reader how GNNs can be used in a wide variety of highly relevant use cases like forecasting, recommendation systems, etc.The book is well-written and is a pleasure to read. Would definitely recommend this book to others.

Amazon Customer Aug 15, 2023

All and all a very nice book about GNNs. This is a practice-oriented book with well-chosen examples. It's an ideal complement to practice and get the code right. There are a few typos here and there, but they're minor and the code works!
