In this tutorial, we attempt to identify the field of a paper based on its citation graph, which serves as a proxy for the paper’s content and its context within the scientific discourse. Understanding and leveraging this structure is central to our ML problem: how to infer the field of a paper from the complex web of citations in which it is embedded.
Graphical Neural Networks (GNNs) are a family of neural networks that can operate naturally on graphically structured data. They provide an effective way to do node-level, edge-level, and graph-level prediction tasks by extracting and exploiting features from the underlying graph.
