Abstract:
As an important branch of machine learning, graph machine learning is a discipline that studies how to use topological structure data for machine learning. Different from the traditional machine learning, which mainly targets vector and matrix data, the data processed by graph machine learning is topological data with explicit relations. Its main advantage is that it can effectively deal with unstructured data and complex relationships, and mine potential correlation patterns and laws. In this talk, we will introduce the theory, technology and applications of graph machine learning from the following three aspects: 1) Graph machine learning based on information mapping; 2) Graph clustering based on multi-level semantic information fusion; 3) Recommendation algorithms and applications based on heterogeneous graph. Finally, as a frontier, we explore the pre-training-based cross-graph and cross-task graph machine learning.
