Graph Convolutional Networks for node classification in signed graphs-Part 1

Introduction Signed graphs are a type of graph that can simultaneously express positive and negative relationships. These data structures have been receiving increasing attention due to the rising popularity of online social networks. For example, in social graphs, people create positive relationships, such as friendships, trust, and approval, as well as negative relationships, such as foes, distrust and disapproval. Compared to unsigned graphs that only … Continue reading Graph Convolutional Networks for node classification in signed graphs-Part 1

Introduction to Graph Convolutional Network

Many important real-world datasets come in the form of graphs or networks: social networks, citation networks, protein-interaction networks, the World Wide Web, etc. The high interpretability of graph and the rise of deep learning has motivated to create a new intersection between deep learning and graph theory. When both these fields meet they create what we call geometric deep learning or graph neural network. It … Continue reading Introduction to Graph Convolutional Network
