Traditional convolutional neural networks are limited to handling Euclidean space data, overlooking the vast realm of real-life scenarios represented as graph data, including transportation networks, social networks, and reference networks. The pivotal step in transferring convolutional neural networks to graph data analysis and processing lies in the construction of graph convolutional operators and graph pooling operators. This comprehensive review article delves into the world of graph convolutional neural networks. Firstly, it elaborates on the fundamentals of graph convolutional neural networks. Subsequently, it elucidates the graph neural network models based on attention mechanisms and autoencoders, summarizing their application in node classification, graph classification, and link prediction along with the associated datasets.

Image super-resolution reconstruction is an important task in the field of image processing technology, which can restore low resolution image to high quality image with high resolution. In recent years, deep learning has been applied in the field of image super-resolution reconstruction. With the continuous development of deep neural network, the quality of the reconstructed images has been greatly improved, but the model complexity has also been increased. In this paper, we propose two lightweight models named as MSwinSR and UGSwinSR based on Swin Transformer. The most important structure in MSwinSR is called Multi-size Swin Transformer Block (MSTB), which mainly contains four parallel multi-head self-attention (MSA) blocks. UGSwinSR combines U-Net and GAN with Swin Transformer. Both of them can reduce the model complexity, but MSwinSR can reach a higher objective quality, while UGSwinSR can reach a higher perceptual quality. The experimental results demonstrate that MSwinSR increases PSNR by $\mathbf{0.07dB}$ compared with the state-of-the-art model SwinIR, while the number of parameters can reduced by $\mathbf{30.68\%}$, and the calculation cost can reduced by $\mathbf{9.936\%}$. UGSwinSR can effectively reduce the amount of calculation of the network, which can reduced by $\mathbf{90.92\%}$ compared with SwinIR.

Medical image segmentation (MIS) aims to finely segment various organs. It requires grasping global information from both parts and the entire image for better segmenting, and clinically there are often certain requirements for segmentation efficiency. Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have made considerable achievements in MIS. However, they are difficult to fully collect global context information and their pooling layer may cause information loss. Capsule networks, which combine the benefits of CNNs while taking into account additional information such as relative location that CNNs do not, have lately demonstrated some advantages in MIS. Vision Transformer (ViT) employs transformers in visual tasks. Transformer based on attention mechanism has excellent global inductive modeling capabilities and is expected to capture longrange information. Moreover, there have been resent studies on making ViT more lightweight to minimize model complexity and increase efficiency. In this paper, we propose a U-shaped 3D encoder-decoder network named 3D-EffiViTCaps, which combines 3D capsule blocks with 3D EfficientViT blocks for MIS. Our encoder uses capsule blocks and EfficientViT blocks to jointly capture local and global semantic information more effectively and efficiently with less information loss, while the decoder employs CNN blocks and EfficientViT blocks to catch ffner details for segmentation. We conduct experiments on various datasets, including iSeg-2017, Hippocampus and Cardiac to verify the performance and efficiency of 3D-EffiViTCaps, which performs better than previous 3D CNN-based, 3D Capsule-based and 3D Transformer-based models. We further implement a series of ablation experiments on the main blocks. Our code is available at: https://github.com/HidNeuron/3D-EffiViTCaps.
