Graph-Based Machine Learning with Python

Covers how graph ML makes node and graph predictions using actual Python code and numbers: uses NetworkX for analysis and PyTorch Geometric to build a two‑layer GCN with message‑passing, applied to the Cora citation network (≈2,700 papers, ≈5,400 edges, label set corrected to 70 topics). Claims: GCN trains in under 30 seconds vs a gradient‑boosting baseline that took ~4 hours and performs substantially better by leveraging citation links. Notes real uses (fraud detection, recommender systems, molecular tasks), shallow GNNs, and scaling concerns for billion‑node graphs.
