Hands-on Graph Neural Networks

Dear students,

we will soon send out the review assignment by mail. Please base your reviews on the template we uploaded to the materials section, consider the general advice it provides and submit your final reviews to the CMS.

The reviews are due on December 23, 23:59. Furthermore please indicate on your personal status page in the CMS, if you consent that we share your mail address with the person who was assigned to review your topic.

Best regards,
The HOGNN team.

Dear students,

Please remember to submit the version of your talktorials to be reviewed by the end of this week (December 15, 23:59) to the CMS via the submission on your personal status page.

Ideally your notebook is already self-contained such that you can submit a single .ipynb file. If you think that your notebook is not yet self-contained, i.e. if it still requires additional files to be present when run, you may submit a ZIP archive that contains your notebook and these additional files. If you choose the latter option please make sure that the paths of the required files relative to your notebook are correct.

Best regards,
The HOGNN team.

Dear Students,

To assist you with the preparation of your notebooks, we will be holding two office hours before the first deadline on December 16. Attendance is optional; these sessions are intended to provide you with an opportunity to seek help with implementation or coding-related issues.

The office hours will take place at DFKI, in room Bledsoe, on the following dates:

• November 28, from 14:00 to 16:00
• December 10, from 15:00 to 17:00

Locating room Bledsoe: From the main lobby (floor -2), take the elevator or stairs up to floor +2. Turn left and walk to the end of the hallway. The entrance will be on the left side and is labeled with the room's name.

Best regards,
The HOGNN Team

Dear students,

please be reminded that you should meet with your supervisor, ideally between November 11th and 22nd, to discuss your notebook concept and any open questions. In order to schedule this meeting contact your supervisor via mail. If you are unsure by whom you're supervised, please check the topics page.

If you already have questions regarding your topic or organizational matters now, feel free to send them to your supervisor ahead of time, so we can prepare them for the concept meeting if necessary.

Furthermore, note that we uploaded a template notebook to clear up potential questions regarding some formalities and the structuring of your ipynb files in the materials section. This notebook contains content that can be helpful to get started with GNNs in PyTorch / PyTorch Geometric. The content was also chosen to provide illustrative examples that make explaining the formalities easier. The level of detail in this template notebook is not necessarily indicative for the level of detail that should be present in your notebooks.

If you have any questions or objections regarding the formalities introduced in the template notebook, contact us via mail an we'll be happy to discuss them with you!

Kind regards,
The HOGNN seminar team.
