“…More specifically, deep learning is now being applied to problems related to Network Science using tools like Graph Neural Networks (GNN) which have been designed to handle arbitrarily structured data [20][21][22]. Recent work showed great promise for applications in community detection and link prediction [23,24], in the prediction of dynamical observables [25], in network reconstruction [26] and the detection of structural perturbations [27], as well as in the context of discovering new materials and drugs [28,29]. In general, GNNs have been shown to adequately handle in-tricate tasks, making them prime candidates to tackle several challenges of contagion dynamics modeling.…”
