Graph Convolutional Network

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.
