Graph Neural Networks (GNNs)

Networks that operate on graphs by passing messages between connected nodes, so a node's representation absorbs its neighborhood. Where CNNs assume a grid and transformers assume a sequence, GNNs assume relationships, which is what fraud rings, molecules, and social networks actually are.
