Graph Neural Networks — Learning from Graph-Structured Data
GNNs generalize neural networks to irregular, non-Euclidean data structures by aggregating information from node neighborhoods. From molecules to social networks, GNNs learn powerful representations by passing messages along edges and updating node features iteratively.
- Key point 1 — Message passing framework unifies GCN, GraphSAGE, and GAT architectures
- Key point 2 — Over-smoothing limits practical depth to 2-3 layers in standard GNNs
- Key point 3 — GNNs excel at molecular property prediction, link prediction, and social analysis
"In graphs, structure is the signal — and GNNs learn to read it."
