Abstract: Graph neural networks are a new class of neural network
architecture which had been proposed to deal with data sets which are most
conveniently modelled using graphs rather than vectors. In this talk we will
present the graph neural network architecture, and we will present a number
of applications to-date.

Brief Biography of Professor TSOI Ah-Chung

Professor Tsoi Ah-Chung studied Electronic Engineering at the Hong Kong
Technical College (graduated in 1969); Electronic Control Engineering
(graduated in 1970) and Control Engineering (graduated in 1972) at University
of Salford, England. Since graduation, he worked as a post doctoral fellow
at the Inter-University Institute of Engineering Control at University
College of North Wales, Bangor, North Wales, a lecturer at Paisley College
of Technology, Paisley, Scotland, before emmigrating to New Zealand. He
worked as a Senior Lecturer in Electrical Engineering in the Department of
Electrical Engineering, University of Auckland, before emmigrating to
Australia.
He worked as a Senior Lecturer in Electrical Engineering, University College
University of New South Wales for 5 years. He then served as Professor of
Electrical Engineering at University of Queensland, Australia; Dean, and
simultaneously Director of Information Technology Services,  and then
foundation Pro-Vice Chancellor (Information Technology and Communications)
at University of Wollongong; before joining the Australian Research Council
as an Executive Director, Mathematics, Information and Communications
Sciences. He was Director, Monash e-Research Centre, Monash University in
Melbourne, Australia. In April 2007, Professor Tsoi took up the position of
Vice President (Research and Institutional Advancement), Hong Kong Baptist
University, Hong Kong.

Professor Tsoi works in the area of artificial intelligence in particular
neural networks and fuzzy systems in recent years. He has published in
neural network literature. In more recent years, Professor Tsoi works in the
application of neural networks to graph domains, with applications to the
world wide web searching, and ranking problems, sub-graph matching problem.

Professor Tsoi is a Fellow of the Institute of Engineers and Technologists,
UK. He is also a Fellow of the Australian Institute of Company Directors,
Australia.
