About the Instructor
Maxime Labonne & PyG Community
Open-source GNN course with 5K+ GitHub stars. PyTorch Geometric library used by DeepMind, Meta, and 1000+ AI teams.
First Principles
Graphs capture relationships: social connections, molecular bonds, transaction networks. GNNs learn embeddings by aggregating information from neighboring nodes. This is how Google's Knowledge Graph and Meta's recommendation system work.
AI Ecosystem Fit
Layer 4 (Models) — Specialized for structured/relational data. 30% of L4/L5 jobs involve graphs (recommendations, fraud, molecules).
Prerequisites
What Paid Projects This Unlocks
Build graph AI: recommendation systems, molecular modeling, knowledge graph reasoning, anomaly detection in networks.
3 Client Projects You Can Get Paid For
Real businesses have this problem right now. Build it, pitch it, charge for it.

Apply to real-world graphs (social, knowledge, molecular)
Combine with transformer attention mechanisms
Deploy GNN models at scale
Why This Matters
Graph AI is the fastest-growing specialization. Every recommendation system, fraud detector, and molecular simulator uses GNNs. This skill is worth 10%+ premium.
