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, |

Hands-on Graph Neural Networks
Graphs have long proven to be a powerful data representation across a wide range of applications. Prominent examples include social and transportation networks, as well as small molecules and proteins. Recently, graph neural networks (GNNs) have emerged as a powerful tool for extending the success of deep learning to the graph domain.
In this seminar we aim to cover both the foundations of GNNs as well as more advanced topics such as their limitations and expressiveness, relation to transformers, extensions to geometric graphs, graph generative models and some applications in molecular machine learning.
During the seminar, participants will create talktorials, i.e., self-contained IPython notebooks that explain (teach) a select topic both from a theoretic point of view and in terms of a practical demonstration part. The mandatory part of the seminar will conclude with final talks where participants present their topics to fellow students. Please consult the Seminar Format page for more details.
