This book comprehensively introduces graph neural networks, effectively demystifying complex concepts. Its practical approach to implementation using Python and PyTorch Geometric is commendable. Readers will master classifying nodes, graphs, and edges with millions of samples, and predicting realistic graph topologies. Particularly noteworthy is the book's focus on performance improvement via heterogeneous sources and applying topological information for future event forecasting. The real-world problem-solving focus of the book adds a pragmatic edge, making it an invaluable resource for both novice and experienced practitioners in the field. It's a must-read for anyone interested in graph neural networks.

I began my journey with Graph Neural Networks approximately 1.5 years ago, and during that period, there were only a handful of resources accessible for acquiring knowledge about GNN. At that time, comprehending the structure of GNN, which significantly differs from conventional neural networks, proved to be quite challenging. In hindsight, I fervently wish that a book of this caliber had been available to me back then.This remarkable book thoroughly covers all the fundamental concepts necessary to grasp GNN effectively. The presentation of the code is methodical, making it easier for readers to follow along. Moreover, the inclusion of Jupyter Notebook files on GitHub allows for seamless testing of the code on Google Colab, thereby enhancing the practical learning experience.A particular highlight of this book is its precise and easily comprehensible derivation of equations. The authors have taken great care to ensure that readers can grasp the mathematical foundations of GNN without unnecessary confusion. This attention to detail greatly aids in understanding and applying GNN in real-world scenarios.In summary, without a shadow of a doubt, I assert that this book stands as the epitome of excellence for individuals seeking to gain proficiency in Graph Neural Networks. Its comprehensive coverage of essential concepts, well-structured code explanations, availability of runnable code on GitHub, clear derivations of equations, and abundance of real-world examples collectively establish it as the ultimate learning resource for aspiring GNN practitioners.

I thought this book provided a great overview of graph neural networks. For context, I have a lot of experience using neural networks, especially in computer vision, but I am new to graph neural networks.In the first chapter, it does a good job starting from the beginning and giving good use cases for each algorithm and graph learning technique. I understood why you would choose to use a graph neural network. The second chapter goes into theory, but nothing complicated. You should already know it if you come from a Computer Science background (although my degree is 20 years old at this point) but even if you don’t have a Computer Science background, it is easy to understand. Even though it is theory, they start showing you code early on. I like that and they explain the code well. Also the code is not for low-level implementations of everything. For the most part you are using high-level libraries instead of coding numpy arrays so it made the whole process much easier to understand and more like how you would actually program something. The next couple chapters go into simple graph neural networks. They are a lot easier to program then I thought. Essentially, for beginning algorithms you feed a neural network not only the input but also an adjacency matrix (a matrix of 1’s and 0’s that shows you which nodes are connected) and PyTorch Geometric does the rest for you. The next chapters get into more advanced techniques including Graph Attention Networks and GraphSAGE. I didn’t know what they were either, but the book explains it - even if it is a little harder to follow. The last part of the book goes over examples and the code you need to write to solve standard graph neural network problems such as forecasting traffic or detecting anomalies.Overall, writer is very knowledgeable about the topic, the code is clear and high-level, and the book is definitely worth the read.

What is custom duty/charge? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

  • If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
  • Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.
