Overview
In Video Editions the narrator reads the book while the content, figures, code listings, diagrams, and text appear on the screen. Like an audiobook that you can also watch as a video.
A hands-on guide to powerful graph-based deep learning models.
Graph Neural Networks in Action teaches you to build cutting-edge graph neural networks for recommendation engines, molecular modeling, and more. This comprehensive guide contains coverage of the essential GNN libraries, including PyTorch Geometric, DeepGraph Library, and Alibaba’s GraphScope for training at scale.
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
In Graph Neural Networks in Action 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.
About the Technology
Graphs are a natural way to model the relationships and hierarchies of real-world data. Graph neural networks (GNNs) optimize deep learning for highly-connected data such as in recommendation engines and social networks, along with specialized applications like molecular modeling for drug discovery.
About the Book
Graph Neural Networks in Action teaches you how to analyze and make predictions on data structured as graphs. You’ll work with graph convolutional networks, attention networks, and auto-encoders to take on tasks like node classification, link prediction, working with temporal data, and object classification. Along the way, you’ll learn the best methods for training and deploying GNNs at scale—all clearly illustrated with well-annotated Python code!
What's Inside
- Train and deploy a graph neural network

O’Reilly covers everything we've got, with content to help us build a world-class technology community, upgrade the capabilities and competencies of our teams, and improve overall team performance as well as their engagement.Julian F.
I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.Addison B.
I’ve been on the O’Reilly platform for more than eight years. I use a couple of learning platforms, but I'm on O'Reilly more than anybody else. When you're there, you start learning. I'm never disappointed.Amir M.
I'm always learning. So when I got on to O'Reilly, I was like a kid in a candy store. There are playlists. There are answers. There's on-demand training. It's worth its weight in gold, in terms of what it allows me to do.
