### What is geometric deep learning?

To complete the first answer that is rather graph oriented, I will write a little about deep learning on manifolds, which is quite general in terms of GDL thanks to the nature of manifolds. Note ...

### What is non-Euclidean data?

Non-Euclidian geometry can be generally boiled down to the phrase the shortest path between 2 points isn't necessarily a straight line. Or, put in a way that lends itself very much to machine ...

### What is the difference between graph convolution in the spatial vs spectral domain?

Spectral Convolution In a spectral graph convolution, we perform an Eigen decomposition of the Laplacian Matrix of the graph. This Eigen decomposition helps us in understanding the underlying ...

### What benefits can be got by applying Graph Convolutional Neural Network instead of ordinary CNN?

Generally speaking a graph CNN is applied to data represented by graphs, not images. a graph is a collection of nodes and edges connecting them. an image is a 2D or 3D matrix, in which each element ...

### Is there a neural network method for time-varying directed graphs?

I'm seeing recent trend of combining RNN/CNN with GNN(graph neural networks) so that both time dependency and topology are captured. I would suggest you to start by looking at DCRNN (Yaguang Li et al.)...

### How does the K-dimensional WL test work?

I never used a k-WL in practice, but I did apply weisfeiler-lehman for my graph tasks. As you can know, the WL provides the coloring by interactive procedure that's assign each node a 'color' (...

### What is a graph neural network?

Graph Neural Networks The term Graph Neural Network, in its broadest sense, refers to any Neural Network designed to take graph structured data as its input: To cover a broader range of methods, this ...

### Understanding the node information score in the paper "Hierarchical Graph Pooling with Structure Learning"

Here, $H$ is a $n * d$ matrix where $n$ is the number of total nodes in the graph and $d$ is the dimension of embedding of each node. Using the notation in the question, the basic GNN formulation ...

### How to represent and work with the feature matrix for graph convolutional network (GCN) if the number of features for each node is different?

The simplest way I could come with is to pad with 0 each feature which is not present. You said that you're going to add too much noise to the network, but I don't see the problem (please correct me ...

### Why don't we use diffusion for non-graph CNNs?

Just for completeness, here is one simple formalization of a diffusion GCN (Gasteiger et al.): $\text{D-GCN}(X) = \sum_{k=1}^K A^k X W_k$ You have a diffusion factor $k \in [1 .. K]$ and you apply ...
