Abstract

Graphs are ubiquitous due to their applicability of capturing the data attributes of complex systems, whether in social and information systems, chemical reactions, or healthcare applications. These graphs are themselves complex and heterogeneous with multi-modal, dynamic, and in some cases “small” data. In this talk, I will present our research on representation learning methods for heterogeneous data (going from shallow to deep embedding), graph learning algorithms for temporal and dynamic data, and few shot learning to enable minimally supervised learning in the presence of limited annotated data. I’ll share use cases and applications stemming from social systems, healthcare, and chemical synthesis.
