Zusammenfassung	Graph Convolutional Network (GCN) is a foundational deep learning architecture for graph-structured data, introduced by Thomas N. Kipf and Max Welling at ICLR 2017. It extends the convolution operation to irregular graph domains via a first-order spectral approximation, enabling each node to aggregate feature information from its neighbors. The model became the canonical baseline for semi-supervised node classification and sparked the modern graph neural network research agenda.	The Graph Attention Network (GAT), introduced by Veličković and colleagues in 2018, is a graph neural network variant that learns how much importance to assign to each neighbouring node through a self-attention mechanism. On heterogeneous neighbourhoods and relational classification it produces results superior to graph convolutional networks (GCN).
