"Iterative deep graph learning for graph neural networks" was invented by Lingfei Wu (Elmsford, N.Y.), Yu Chen (Troy, N.Y.) and Mohammed J. Zaki (Troy, N.Y.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "An initial noisy graph topology is obtained and an initial adjacency matrix is generated by a similarity learning component using similarity learning and a similarity metric function. An updated adjacency matrix with node embeddings is produced from the initial adjacency matrix using a graph neural network (...
