Abstract

Social networks depict how users connect and interact with one another, and enable crucial predictive tasks, including node classification (NC), link prediction (LP), and community detection (CD). With the blooming and advances of deep learning, novel Graph Representation Learning (GRL) models, which learn the representations of nodes, are invented and widely applied on social networks. How can GRL benefit data science? In this talk, I will utilize our recent research outcomes to exhibit what, where, and how GRL can benefit a variety of tasks in data science. First, we will demonstrate that semantics-preserving GRL are able to significantly boost the performance of typical NC, LP, and CD tasks. Second, we will show that GRL can be applied to better model and exploit diverse relationships between various types of nodes in the realms of recommender systems and knowledge base. Third, through the tasks of fake news detection, air quality forecasting, and stock price prediction, we will further exhibit that GRL is still powerful even when the graphs cannot be observed.
