Overview of this book

Machine Learning with PyTorch and Scikit-Learn is a comprehensive guide to machine learning and deep learning with PyTorch. It acts as both a step-by-step tutorial and a reference you'll keep coming back to as you build your machine learning systems. Packed with clear explanations, visualizations, and examples, the book covers all the essential machine learning techniques in depth. While some books teach you only to follow instructions, with this machine learning book, we teach the principles allowing you to build models and applications for yourself. Why PyTorch? PyTorch is the Pythonic way to learn machine learning, making it easier to learn and simpler to code with. This book explains the essential parts of PyTorch and how to create models using popular libraries, such as PyTorch Lightning and PyTorch Geometric. You will also learn about generative adversarial networks (GANs) for generating new data and training intelligent agents with reinforcement learning. Finally, this new edition is expanded to cover the latest trends in deep learning, including graph neural networks and large-scale transformers used for natural language processing (NLP). This PyTorch book is your companion to machine learning with Python, whether you're a Python developer new to machine learning or want to deepen your knowledge of the latest developments.

Summary

As the amount of data we have access to continues to increase, so too will our need to understand interrelations within the data. While this will be done in numerous ways, graphs function as a distilled representation of these relationships, so the amount of graph data available will only increase.

In this chapter, we explained graph neural networks from the ground up by implementing a graph convolution layer and a GNN from scratch. We saw that implementing GNNs, due to the nature of graph data, is actually quite complex. Thus, to apply GNNs to a real-world example, such as predicting molecular polarization, we learned how to utilize the PyTorch Geometric library, which provides implementations of many of the building blocks we need. Lastly, we went over some of the notable literature for diving into the GNN literature more deeply.

Hopefully, this chapter provided an introduction to how deep learning can be leveraged to learn on graphs. Methods in this space are currently...
