Graph Representation Learning for 3D Models

Graphs structures are ubiquitous and highly relevant in a very broad range of applications, from drug discovery to pointcloud segmentation. Graph Neural Networks have emerged to enable data driven deep learning methods for this type of data. The focus of this thesis is learning latent representations of 3D models, that are represented as graphs or pointclouds. These latent representations should provide a meaningful summary of the 3D data, which is important for downstream tasks such as classification and segmentation. Both downstream tasks are highly relevant, e.g. to analyze a scene that was scanned by a LiDAR.
