This document summarizes a research paper that introduces Hyperbolic Graph Convolutional Networks (HGCNs) to address limitations of previous Euclidean graph neural networks. HGCNs map node features to hyperbolic spaces and use a novel attention-based aggregation scheme to capture hierarchical structure. The paper presents HGCNs, evaluates them on citation networks, disease propagation trees, protein networks and flight networks, and finds they outperform Euclidean baselines for link prediction and node classification by learning more interpretable hierarchical representations.
