This book proposes various deep learning models featuring how deep learning algorithms have been applied and used in real-life settings. The complexity of real-world scenarios and constraints imposed by the environment, together with budgetary and resource limitations, have posed great challenges to engineers and developers alike, to come up with solutions to meet these demands. This book presents case studies undertaken by its contributors to overcome these problems. These studies can be used as references for designers when applying deep learning in solving real-world problems in the areas of vision, signals, and networks.The contents of this book are divided into three parts. In the first part, AI vision applications in plant disease diagnostics, PM2.5 concentration estimation, surface defect detection, and ship plate identification, are featured. The second part introduces deep learning applications in signal processing; such as time series classification, broad-learning based signal modulation recognition, and graph neural network (GNN) based modulation recognition. Finally, the last section of the book reports on graph embedding applications and GNN in AI for networks; such as an end-to-end graph embedding method for dispute detection, an autonomous System-GNN architecture to infer the relationship between Apache software, a Ponzi scheme detection framework to identify and detect Ponzi schemes, and a GNN application to predict molecular biological activities.

Graph data is powerful, thanks to its ability to model arbitrary relationship between objects and is encountered in a range of real-world applications in fields such as bioinformatics, traffic network, scientific collaboration, world wide web and social networks. Graph data mining is used to discover useful information and knowledge from graph data. The complications of nodes, links and the semi-structure form present challenges in terms of the computation tasks, e.g., node classification, link prediction, and graph classification. In this context, various advanced techniques, including graph embedding and graph neural networks, have recently been proposed to improve the performance of graph data mining. This book provides a state-of-the-art review of graph data mining methods. It addresses a current hot topic - the security of graph data mining - and proposes a series of detection methods to identify adversarial samples in graph data. In addition, it introduces readers to graph augmentation and subgraph networks to further enhance the models, i.e., improve their accuracy and robustness. Lastly, the book describes the applications of these advanced techniques in various scenarios, such as traffic networks, social and technical networks, and blockchains.
