Seminar announcement (visiting fellow) --- Speaker: Filippo Maria Bianchi - NORCE, the Norwegian Research Center Title: Pooling in Graph Neural Networks Dipartimento di Informatica, Sala seminari ovest. Tuesday 29 October, h 12. Abstract: The advance of node pooling operations in Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) has lagged behind the feverish design of new message-passing techniques, and pooling remains an essential and challenging endeavour for the design of deep architectures. In this presentation, I will give a brief overview of the two principal families of pooling techniques for pooling node representations across the layers of a GNN. For each family, I will provide a few examples of the most commonly used techniques. --- _________________________________________________________________ Prof. Alessio Micheli Computational Intelligence and Machine Learning Group Universita` di Pisa - Dipartimento di Informatica Largo Bruno Pontecorvo 3, 56127 Pisa, ITALY E_mail: micheli@di.unipi.it Phone: +39-050-2212798 http://pages.di.unipi.it/micheli _________________________________________________________________
