Graph Neural Network Guided By Feature Selection And Centrality Measures For Node Classification On Homophilic And Heterophily Graphs, Asmaa M. Mahmoud, Heba F. Eid, Abeer S. Desuky, Hoda A. Ali

Al-Azhar Bulletin of Science

One of the most recent developments in the fields of deep learning and machine learning is Graph Neural Networks (GNNs). GNNs core task is the feature aggregation stage, which is carried out over the node's neighbours without taking into account whether the features are relevant or not. Additionally, the majority of these existing node representation techniques only consider the network's topology structure while completely ignoring the centrality information. In this paper, a new technique for explaining graph features depending on four different feature selection approaches and centrality measures in order to identify the important nodes and relevant node features is …

Al-Azhar Bulletin of Science

In this paper, based on Goodyear's time transformation formula, we used a set of modified universal functions to construct the minimum distance function between any two celestial objects. We determined the distance between objects in space under a specific time constraint. We used the continued fractions method for quick convergence of the distance function. We used the inverse series to obtain a first initial guess to solve the convergence equation. Furthermore, the Lagrange multiplier method was used to determine the minimum distance between the two objects under the specified time constraint. We constructed an algorithm and applied it with the …

Al-Azhar Bulletin of Science

The solution of the initial-value problem of two-body gives inaccurate final state predictions for the orbital motions of artificial satellites. This is due to the presence of singularities and the poor selection of variables. In the current study, we numerically investigated the initial-value problem using the universal anomaly approach. To clarify the problem under concern, we carried out several numerical examples using a homemade software package. We considered five space missions, around the two planets Earth and Venus, which represent circular, near circular and ellipse orbits. We showed that the universal anomaly approach facilitates the numerical and analytical treatments of …
