+* Graph Neural Networks (GNNs): Neural Networks that operate on graph structured data
+* Graph: consists of nodes that can be connected by edges, edges can be directed or undirected
+* no grid structure as given for CNNs
+* node features and edge features possible
+* relation often represented by adjacency matrix: $A_{ij}=1$ if there is a link between node $i$ and $j$, else 0
+* tasks on node level, edge level and graph level

+## Exercise 1: Illustration of Graphs and Graph Neural Networks
+
+On the PyTorch webpage, you can find official examples for the application of Graph Neural Networks:
+https://pytorch-geometric.readthedocs.io/en/latest/get_started/colabs.html
+
+\vspace{3ex}
+
+The first introduction notebook shows the functionality of graphs with the example of the Karate Club. Follow and reproduce the first [\textcolor{green}{notebook}](https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1h3-vJGRVloF5zStxL5I0rSy4ZUPNsjy8?usp=sharing). Study and understand the data format.

+
+At the end, the separation power of Graph Convolutional Networks (GCN) are shown via the node embeddings. You can replace the GCN with a Graph Attention Layers and compare the results.
