Look inside
A hands-on guide to powerful graph-based deep learning models! Learn how to build cutting-edge graph neural networks for recommendation engines, molecular modeling, and more.

In Graph Neural Networks in Action, you will learn how to:

  • Train and deploy a graph neural network
  • Generate node embeddings
  • Use GNNs at scale for very large datasets
  • Build a graph data pipeline
  • Create a graph data schema
  • Understand the taxonomy of GNNs
  • Manipulate graph data with NetworkX

Graph Neural Networks in Action teaches you to create powerful deep learning models for working with graph data. You’ll learn how to both design and train your models, and how to develop them into practical applications you can deploy to production. Go hands-on and explore relevant real-world projects as you dive into graph neural networks perfect for node prediction, link prediction, and graph classification. Inside this practical guide, you’ll explore common graph neural network architectures and cutting-edge libraries, all clearly illustrated with well-annotated Python code.

about the technology

Graph neural networks expand the capabilities of deep learning beyond traditional tabular data, text, and images. This exciting new approach brings the amazing capabilities of deep learning to graph data structures, opening up new possibilities for everything from recommendation engines to pharmaceutical research.

about the book

In Graph Neural Networks in Action you’ll create deep learning models that are perfect for working with interconnected graph data. Start with a comprehensive introduction to graph data’s unique properties. Then, dive straight into building real-world models, including GNNs that can generate node embeddings from a social network, recommend eCommerce products, and draw insights from social sites. This comprehensive guide contains coverage of the essential GNN libraries, including PyTorch Geometric, DeepGraph Library, and Alibaba’s GraphScope for training at scale.

about the reader

For Python programmers familiar with machine learning and the basics of deep learning.

about the authors
