About this course

The course introduces students to advanced artificial intelligence techniques for working with graphs. Lectures will focus on the latest graph neural networks for creating vector representations of nodes, edges and entire graphs. The techniques discussed cover various types of graphs, including time-varying graphs. The last part of the course also covers graph generation and interpretability of graph neural networks. In the exercises, students will try out selected techniques and problems.
