2019年11月11日，斯坦福大学计算机学院Jure Leskovec副教授将以《Advancements in Graph Neural Networks》为题带来精彩报告，欢迎报名参加！
Machine learning on graphs is an important and ubiquitous task with applications ranging from drug design to friendship recommendation in social networks. The primary challenge in this domain is finding a way to represent, or encode, graph structure so that it can be easily exploited by machine learning models. In this talk I will discuss recent advancements in the field of Graph Neural Networks that automatically learn to encode graph structure into low-dimensional embeddings, using techniques based on deep learning. I will provide a conceptual overview of key advancements in this area of representation learning on graphs, including graph convolutional networks and their representational power. We will also discuss applications to web-scale recommender systems, healthcare, and knowledge representation and reasoning.
