Synopsis:

The course introduces students to advanced artificial intelligence techniques for working with graphs. Lectures will focus on the latest graph neural networks for creating vector representations of nodes, edges and entire graphs. The techniques discussed cover various types of graphs, including time-varying graphs. The last part of the course also covers graph generation and interpretability of graph neural networks. In the exercises, students will try out selected techniques and problems.

Requirements:

no entry requirements

Syllabus of lectures:

1) Introduction to the subject, motivation and definition of terms.

2) Representations based on the adjacency matrix and random walks through the graph.

3) Convolutional graph neural networks.

4) Representations of time-variable graphs.

5) Graph generation and representation using graph autoencoders.

6) Interpretability and applications in natural language processing and recommender systems.

Syllabus of tutorials:

1) Introduction to the StellarGraph library.

2) Vector representation of graphs.

3) Classification and clustering of nodes and graphs.

4) Graphs with time component.

5) Working on a semestral project.

6) Submission of the project and its presentation.
