Abstract:
Signals of interest are supported on a graph structure in many real-world applications, including sensor networks, social networks, transportation systems, gene regulatory networks, and 3-D point clouds. It is of great importance to extend standard signal processing tools for representing signals on graphs. With the development of deep learning techniques, graph neural networks (GNNs) generalize the deep convolutional neural networks to signals on graphs and pave a new way for learning node-level and graph-level representations. In this talk, I will present the development and current trends of convolutional neural networks for signals on graphs. I will begin with the fundamental of graph signal processing and then elaborate the graph convolution and pooling operations developed in the spatial and spectral domains. Finally, I will introduce our recent works on multi-scale representation of signals on graphs via graph convolutional neural networks.
