Guidelines
The student shall review the following topics in his bachelor's thesis:

- neural network architectures applicable to deep learning – convolutional neural networks (CNN), recurrent neural networks of the long short-term memory (LSTM) type, and transformers, among others,

- graph neural networks and their variants, in particular, the models of graph convolutional networks (GCN), graph autoencoders (GAE), and graph attention networks (GAT).

He shall propose a suitable strategy to reliably process real-world graph data (e.g., from the areas of chemistry or biology). Preferably, the processed data shall have a planar graph form. Furthermore, the student shall develop a suitable representation of the involved data and implement the models. Evaluating the results and the gained experience will be vital to the thesis.
