Vibrant Publishers Releases Graph Machine Learning Essentials On Netgalley For Early Review
Written in a clear and approachable style, the book covers graph fundamentals, graph learning tasks, node and edge embeddings, message passing, graph neural networks, and advanced GNN architectures. It also addresses practical challenges such as scalability, over-squashing, and oversmoothing, helping readers understand the real considerations involved in graph machine learning workflows.
A notable feature of the book is its practical orientation. Readers are guided through implementation examples using PyTorch Geometric, a popular graph deep learning library built on PyTorch for structured data applications. The book also explores how graph machine learning can be applied in areas such as social network analysis, recommender systems, fraud detection, cybersecurity, bioinformatics, transportation networks, and knowledge graphs.
Pintu Kumar brings a strong academic and teaching background to the book. He is currently a Ph.D. scholar in the Department of Industrial Engineering & Operations Research at IIT Bombay. He holds a B.Sc. from Delhi University and an M.Sc. from IIT Jodhpur, where he graduated as a Silver Medalist. He has also received the Prime Minister's Research Fellowship and CSIR JRF. His research focuses on scalable graph neural networks, noisy graph data, and the theoretical foundations of graph embeddings. Alongside his research, he has contributed to teaching and NPTEL programs, helping make advanced machine learning concepts accessible to a wider audience.
The book includes end-of-chapter quizzes, QR-based in-chapter questions, practical examples, programming assignments available as online resources, and two appendices that support readers with both a recap of machine learning fundamentals and an introduction to PyTorch Geometric.
Graph Machine Learning Essentials is part of Vibrant Publishers' Self-Learning Management series. The Advance Review Copy of this book is now available for interested readers on NetGalley! Read and review it before its release.
