A novel approach is proposed to apply Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) to image data, leveraging the manifold hypothesis that high-dimensional data lies in a low-dimensional manifold. The method constructs an image manifold using variational autoencoders and samples it to generate graphs where each node represents an image. A GNN is then trained to predict node labels corresponding to image labels in classification tasks. Experimental results on MNIST and CIFAR10 datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of GNNs in generalizing to unseen graphs, achieving competitive accuracy in classification tasks.

GNNs are super smart computers that can learn from complicated data structures called graphs. They’re really good at understanding things like molecular biology and electrical grids because these fields use graph-like data naturally. But what if we could use GNNs on regular pictures too? That’s exactly what this paper does! It takes lots of images, squishes them down into a special kind of graph, and then uses the GNN to predict what each picture is. The results are pretty amazing – it’s almost as good as other methods that experts have tried before!
