Summary

Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have emerged as a cutting-edge framework for directly analyzing graph-structured data using deep learning techniques. Their remarkable performance has inspired extensive exploration and research interest among scholars. GNNs excel in transforming graph data into standardized representations, enabling them to effectively address tasks such as node classification, edge information propagation, and graph clustering. What distinguishes GNNs from traditional deep learning methods is their distinctive capacity to capture intrinsic patterns and deeper semantic features within graphs. This unique capability markedly boosts their accuracy and robustness across a wide spectrum of graph-related challenges, establishing them as a highly promising approach in contemporary machine learning.

 

The proposed special issue aims to explore the diverse methods and applications of GNNs across multiple domains, including materials, transportation, meteorology, and beyond. By addressing challenges and harnessing the potential of GNNs, this special issue endeavors to uncover innovative approaches to enhance GNNs, providing a platform to integrate domain-specific knowledge and fully exploit their potential in real-world scenarios across diverse domains.

    Abstract Federated Graph Learning (FGL) enables model training without requiring each client to share local graph data, effectively breaking data silos by aggregating the training parameters from each terminal while safeguarding data privacy. Traditional FGL relies on a centralized server for model aggregation; however, this central server presents challenges such as a single point of failure and high communication overhead. Additionally, efficiently training a robust personalized local model for each client remains a significant objective in federated graph learning. To address these issues, we propose a decentralized Federated Graph Learning framework with efficient communication, termed Decentralized… More >

    Abstract Accurate traffic flow prediction has a profound impact on modern traffic management. Traffic flow has complex spatial-temporal correlations and periodicity, which poses difficulties for precise prediction. To address this problem, a Multi-head Self-attention and Spatial-Temporal Graph Convolutional Network (MSSTGCN) for multiscale traffic flow prediction is proposed. Firstly, to capture the hidden traffic periodicity of traffic flow, traffic flow is divided into three kinds of periods, including hourly, daily, and weekly data. Secondly, a graph attention residual layer is constructed to learn the global spatial features across regions. Local spatial-temporal dependence is captured by using a More >

    GATiT: An Intelligent Diagnosis Model Based on Graph Attention Network Incorporating Text Representation in Knowledge Reasoning

    Yu Song, Pengcheng Wu, Dongming Dai, Mingyu Gui, Kunli Zhang
    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.80, No.3, pp. 4767-4790, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2024.053506

    Abstract The growing prevalence of knowledge reasoning using knowledge graphs (KGs) has substantially improved the accuracy and efficiency of intelligent medical diagnosis. However, current models primarily integrate electronic medical records (EMRs) and KGs into the knowledge reasoning process, ignoring the differing significance of various types of knowledge in EMRs and the diverse data types present in the text. To better integrate EMR text information, we propose a novel intelligent diagnostic model named the Graph ATtention network incorporating Text representation in knowledge reasoning (GATiT), which comprises text representation, subgraph construction, knowledge reasoning, and diagnostic classification.
