This technique enables information to be processed through an exchange of information between the nodes of a graph and their neighbours. The aim of this technique is to modify the state of each node using local information from its neighbours and information contained in the edges.<\/p><p>More specifically, message passing transmits the information contained in the node embeddings via the edges of the graph. Each node sends a message to its neighbours using its node embedding. Each message <strong>contains information about the sending node and properties specific to the edge linking the node to its neighbour<\/strong>. The receiving node then combines all the messages from its neighbours with its initial embedding and the corresponding edge embeddings to update its own node embedding using a non-linear function. The combination of messages from neighbouring nodes and the initial embedding can correspond to different operations (sum, average, maximum, etc.) depending on the context.<\/p><p>The message passing technique is repeated several times to allow each node to integrate the information from its neighbours and thus capture more and more information about the structure of the graph.<\/p><p>At the end of the process, each node contains an updated node embedding that takes into account all the characteristics of its neighbours and the edge embeddings. In the embedding space, which corresponds to the vector space in which the node embeddings are grouped, the distance between node embeddings depends on their similarity. The more similar the node embeddings, the closer they are.<\/p><p>It should also be noted that message passing functions are invariant to permutation of the order of neighbour nodes. This allows <strong>GNNs<\/strong> to consider interactions between nodes without depending on the order of the nodes, and to standardise the results obtained.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e4b4d52 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"e4b4d52\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/datascientest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/message-passing-neural-networks.png\" title=\"\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\"><\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-43578e3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"43578e3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>To <strong>train GNNs or Graph Neural Networks,<\/strong> random weight values are first assigned to each layer of the neural network.
