This paper proposes the design of a neural network structure search model using graph convolutional neural networks. Deep learning has a problem of not being able to verify whether the designed model has a structure with optimized performance due to the nature of learning as a black box. The neural network structure search model is composed of a recurrent neural network that creates a model and a convolutional neural network that is the generated network. Conventional neural network structure search models use recurrent neural networks, but in this paper, we propose GC-NAS, which uses graph convolutional neural networks instead of recurrent neural networks to create convolutional neural network models. The proposed GC-NAS uses the Layer Extraction Block to explore depth, and the Hyper Parameter Prediction Block to explore spatial and temporal information (hyper parameters) based on depth information in parallel. Therefore, since the depth information is reflected, the search area is wider, and the purpose of the search area of the model is clear by conducting a parallel search with depth information, so it is judged to be superior in theoretical structure compared to GC-NAS. GC-NAS is expected to solve the problem of the high-dimensional time axis and the range of spatial search of recurrent neural networks in the existing neural network structure search model through the graph convolutional neural network block and graph generation algorithm. In addition, we hope that the GC-NAS proposed in this paper will serve as an opportunity for active research on the application of graph convolutional neural networks to neural network structure search.

This study proposes a novel deep neural network model that can accurately detect objects and their relationships in an image and represent them as a scene graph. The proposed model utilizes several multimodal features, including linguistic features and visual context features, to accurately detect objects and relationships. In addition, in the proposed model, context features are embedded using graph neural networks to depict the dependencies between two related objects in the context feature vector. This study demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed model through comparative experiments using the Visual Genome benchmark dataset.

We propose a passive sonar signal classification algorithm using Graph Neural Network (GNN). The proposed algorithm segments spectrograms into image patches and represents graphs through connections between adjacent image patches. Subsequently, Graph Convolutional Network (GCN) is trained using the represented graphs to classify signals. In experiments with publicly available underwater acoustic data, the proposed algorithm represents the line frequency features of spectrograms in graph form, achieving an impressive classification accuracy of 92.50 %. This result demonstrates a 8.15 % higher classification accuracy compared to conventional Convolutional Neural Network (CNN).

There is a lot of research on using a combination of graph neural networks and recurrent neural networks as a way to account for both temporal and spatial dependencies. In particular, graph neural networks are an emerging area of research. Seoul's bicycle rental service (aka Daereungi) has rental stations all over the city of Seoul, and the rental information at each station is a time series that is faithfully recorded. The rental information of each rental station has temporal characteristics that show periodicity over time, and regional characteristics are also thought to have important effects on the rental status. Regional correlations can be well understood using graph neural networks. In this study, we reconstructed the time series data of Seoul's bicycle rental service into a graph and developed a rental prediction model that combines a graph neural network and a recurrent neural network. We considered temporal characteristics such as periodicity over time, regional characteristics, and the degree importance of each rental station.

In recent years, graph neural networks (GNNs) have been extensively used to analyze graph data across various domains because of their powerful capabilities in learning complex graph-structured data. However, recent research has focused on improving the performance of a single GNN with only two or three layers. This is because stacking layers deeply causes the over-smoothing problem of GNNs, which degrades the performance of GNNs significantly. On the other hand, ensemble methods combine individual weak models to obtain better generalization performance. Among them, gradient boosting is a powerful supervised learning algorithm that adds new weak models in the direction of reducing the errors of the previously created weak models. After repeating this process, gradient boosting combines the weak models to produce a strong model with better performance. Until now, most studies on GNNs have focused on improving the performance of a single GNN. In contrast, improving the performance of GNNs using multiple GNNs has not been studied much yet. In this paper, we propose gradient boosted graph neural networks (GBGNN) that combine multiple shallow GNNs with gradient boosting. We use shallow GNNs as weak models and create new weak models using the proposed gradient boosting-based loss function. Our empirical evaluations on three real-world datasets demonstrate that GBGNN performs much better than a single GNN. Specifically, in our experiments using graph convolutional network (GCN) and graph attention network (GAT) as weak models on the Cora dataset, GBGNN achieves performance improvements of 12.3%p and 6.1%p in node classification accuracy compared to a single GCN and a single GAT, respectively.

Skeleton-based action recognition has attracted considerable attention in human action recognition. Recent methods for skeleton-based action recognition employ spatiotemporal graph convolutional networks (GCNs) and have remarkable performance. However, most of them have heavy computational complexity for robust action recognition. To solve this problem, we propose a shuffle graph convolutional network (SGCN) which is a lightweight graph convolutional network using pointwise group convolution rather than pointwise convolution to reduce computational cost. Our SGCN is composed of spatial and temporal GCN. The spatial shuffle GCN contains pointwise group convolution and part shuffle module which enhances local and global information between correlated joints. In addition, the temporal shuffle GCN contains depthwise convolution to maintain a large receptive field. Our model achieves comparable performance with lowest computational cost and exceeds the performance of baseline at 0.3% and 1.2% on NTU RGB+D and NTU RGB+D 120 datasets, respectively.

Knowledge recommendation is a type of recommendation system that recommends knowledge content to users in order to satisfy their needs. Although using graph neural networks to extract data features is an effective method for solving the recommendation problem, there is information loss when modeling real-world problems because an edge in a graph structure can only be associated with two nodes. Because one super-edge in the hypergraph structure can be connected with several nodes and the effectiveness of knowledge graph for knowledge expression, a dual-channel hypergraph convolutional neural network model (DCHC) based on hypergraph structure and knowledge graph is proposed. The model divides user data and knowledge data into user subhypergraph and knowledge subhypergraph, respectively, and extracts user data features by dual-channel hypergraph convolution and knowledge data features by combining with knowledge graph technology, and finally generates recommendation results based on the obtained user embedding and knowledge embedding. The performance of DCHC model is higher than the comparative model under AUC and F1 evaluation indicators, comparative experiments with the baseline also demonstrate the validity of DCHC model.

Knowledge graph-based question answering not only requires deep understanding of the given natural language questions, but it also needs effective reasoning to find the correct answers on a large knowledge graph. In this paper, we propose a deep neural network model for effective reasoning on a knowledge graph, which can find correct answers to complex questions requiring multi-hop inference. The proposed model makes use of highly expressive bilinear graph neural network (BGNN), which can utilize context information between a pair of neighboring nodes, as well as allows bidirectional feature propagation between each entity node and one of its neighboring nodes on a knowledge graph. Performing experiments with an open-domain knowledge base (Freebase) and two natural-language question answering benchmark datasets(WebQuestionsSP and MetaQA), we demonstrate the effectiveness and performance of the proposed model.

Because nuclear power plants (NPPs) are safety-critical infrastructure, it is essential to increase their safety and minimize risk. To reduce human error and support decision-making by operators, several artificial-intelligence-based diagnosis methods have been proposed. However, because of the nature of data-driven methods, conventional artificial intelligence requires large amount of measurement values to train and achieve enough diagnosis resolution. We propose a graph neural network (GNN) based accident diagnosis algorithm to achieve high diagnosis resolution with limited measurements. The proposed algorithm is trained with both the knowledge about physical correlation between components and measurement values. To validate the proposed methodology has a sufficiently high diagnostic resolution with limited measurement values, the diagnosis of multiple accidents was performed with limited measurement values and also, the performance was compared with convolution neural network (CNN). In case of the experiment that requires low diagnostic resolution, both CNN and GNN showed good results. However, for the tests that requires high diagnostic resolution, GNN greatly outperformed the CNN.

In this paper, production system is implemented with the inferential neural network model using semantic network and directed graph. Production system can be implemented with the transform of knowledge representation in production system into semantic network and of semantic network into directed graph, because directed graphs can be expressed by neural matrices. A concept node should be defined by the state vector to calculated the concepts expressed by matrices. The expressional ability of neunal network depends on how the state vector is defined. In this study, state vector is overlapped and each overlapping part acts as a inheritant of concept.
