Abstract: This paper presents a novel algorithm for ranking nodes in graph-structured data using Graph Convolutional Networks (GCNs) combined with mini-batch training. The proposed method integrates local and global structural information, enabling a comprehensive understanding of node importance within complex networks. By employing a multi-layer GCN architecture with residual connections and dropout regularization, our approach captures intricate graph patterns while mitigating common issues such as vanishing gradients and overfitting. The node importance scores are computed using a Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP), with the entire model trained using Mean Squared Error (MSE) loss optimized via the Adam algorithm. We demonstrate the scalability and effectiveness of our method through extensive experiments on various benchmark datasets, showcasing its superior performance in node ranking tasks compared to existing approaches.
