Cogdl: Toolkit for Deep Learning on Graphs JOURNAL OF LATEX CLASS FILES, VOL. 14, NO. 8, AUGUST 2015 1 CogDL: Toolkit for Deep Learning on Graphs Yukuo Cen, Zhenyu Hou, Yan Wang, Qibin Chen, Yizhen Luo, Xingcheng Yao, Aohan Zeng, Shiguang Guo, Yang Yang, Peng Zhang, Guohao Dai, Yu Wang, Chang Zhou, Hongxia Yang, Jie Tang?, IEEE Fellow Abstract—Deep learning on graphs has attracted tremendous attention from the graph learning community in recent years. It has been widely used in several real-world applications such as social network analysis and recommender systems. In this paper, we introduce CogDL, an extensive toolkit for deep learning on graphs that allows researchers and developers to easily conduct experiments and build applications. It provides standard training and evaluation for the most important tasks in the graph domain, including node classification, graph classification, etc. For each task, it provides implementations of state-of-the-art models. The models in our toolkit are divided into two major parts, graph embedding methods and graph neural networks. Most of the graph embedding methods learn node-level or graph-level representations in an unsupervised way and preserves the graph properties such as structural information, while graph neural networks capture node features and work in semi-supervised or self-supervised settings. All models implemented in our toolkit can be easily reproducible for leaderboard results. Most models in CogDL are developed on top of PyTorch, and users can leverage the advantages of PyTorch to implement their own models. Furthermore, we demonstrate the effectiveness of CogDL for real-world applications in AMiner, a large academic mining system.

Another type of network Graph-structured data have been widely utilized in many embedding methods is matrix factorization (MF)-based such real-world scenarios. For example, each user on Facebook as GraRep [9], HOPE [8], NetMF [1], and ProNE [2], which can be seen as a vertex and their relations like friendship construct a proximity matrix and use MF such as singular or followership can be seen as edges in the graph.

  • Finding Experts by Link Prediction in Co-Authorship Networks
    Finding Experts by Link Prediction in Co-authorship Networks Milen Pavlov1,2,RyutaroIchise2 1 University of Waterloo, Waterloo ON N2L 3G1, Canada 2 National Institute of Informatics, Tokyo 101-8430, Japan Abstract. Research collaborations are always encouraged, as they of- ten yield good results. However, the researcher network contains massive amounts of experts in various disciplines and it is difficult for the indi- vidual researcher to decide which experts will match his own expertise best. As a result, collaboration outcomes are often uncertain and research teams are poorly organized. We propose a method for building link pre- dictors in networks, where nodes can represent researchers and links - collaborations. In this case, predictors might offer good suggestions for future collaborations. We test our method on a researcher co-authorship network and obtain link predictors of encouraging accuracy. This leads us to believe our method could be useful in building and maintaining strong research teams. It could also help with choosing vocabulary for expert de- scription, since link predictors contain implicit information about which structural attributes of the network are important with respect to the link prediction problem. 1 Introduction Collaborations between researchers often have a synergistic effect. The combined expertise of a group of researchers can often yield results far surpassing the sum of the individual researchers’ capabilities. However, creating and organizing such research teams is not a straightforward task. The individual researcher often has limited awareness of the existence of other researchers with which collaborations might prove fruitful. Further- more, even in the presence of such awareness, it is difficult to predict in advance which potential collaborations should be pursued.

Received: 4 July 2019; Accepted: 5 November 2019; Published: 7 November 2019 Abstract: It is known that many diseases are caused by mutations or abnormalities in microRNA (miRNA). The usual method to predict miRNA disease relationships is to build a high-quality similarity network of diseases and miRNAs. All unobserved associations are ranked by their similarity scores, such that a higher score indicates a greater probability of a potential connection. However, this approach does not utilize information within the network. Therefore, in this study, we propose a machine learning method, called STIM, which uses network topology information to predict disease–miRNA associations. In contrast to the conventional approach, STIM constructs features according to information on similarity and topology in networks and then uses a machine learning model to predict potential associations. To verify the reliability and accuracy of our method, we compared STIM to other classical algorithms.

However, there has not been much attention paid to mining the medical professions, such as detecting users’ occupations from their biographical content. Mining such information can be useful to build recommender systems for cost-effective ad- vertisements. Conventional classifiers can be used to predict medical occupations, but they tend to perform poorly as there are a variety of occupations. As a result, the main focus of the research is to use various deep learning techniques to examine the textual properties of Twitter users’ biographic contents, network properties, and the impact of homophily of Twitter users employed in medical professional fields.

  • Application of Machine Learning to Link Prediction
    Application of Machine Learning to Link Prediction Kyle Julian (kjulian3), Wayne Lu (waynelu) December 16, 2016 1 Introduction Real-world networks evolve over time as new nodes and links are added. Link prediction algorithms use historical data in order to predict the appearance of a new links in the network or to identify links which may exist but are not represented in the data. The application of link prediction is most commonly seen in recommendation engines, such as new connections on social networks or related products on shopping sites. Traditional approaches involve the calculation of a heuristic similarity score for a pair of nodes, such as the number of common neighbors or the shortest path length connecting the nodes, where pairs of nodes with the highest similarity scores are considered the most likely edges. In this project, we will apply supervised learning algorithms to the link prediction prediction problem using a large set of topological features. Given a network at two different points in time, we train a learning algorithm to identify pairs of edges which appear in the newer network but not in the older network. Then, for a pair of nodes, we use the classification probability of the learning algorithm as our link prediction heuristic. Furthermore, we show that our network-specific heuristics outperform generic heuristics such as the Adamic/Adar coefficient and the Jaccard coefficient. 2 Related Work Link prediction and the application of machine learning techniques to link prediction both have significant corpuses of work behind them. Adamic and Adar used similarities between the web pages of students at MIT and Stanford to predict friendship.

In addition, I would also like to thank Causaly for their valuable advice and the data they provided. Finally, a big thanks goes to my family for their support and especially, my friends for always being there and believing in me. ii Abstract In this thesis, we experiment with the task of Link Prediction using Network Embedding (ne) methods. ne methods map network nodes to low-dimensional feature vectors and have wide applications in network analysis and bioinformatics. We consider separately the task of Link Prediction in graphs with only one type of relationship and in graphs with more than one type of relationship. The ultimate goal is to create methods capable of making novel predictions and helping in the Biomedical domain, e.g. covid-19 related predictions. To that end, we create a biomedical dataset containing Coronavirus related information complemented by entities and relationships acquired from the umls ontology. Secondly, we note that the ne methods can be categorized to methods that utilize only the structure of the graphs and to methods that also try to exploit metadata associated with graphs, e.g.

In particular, we explore topological dyadic approaches for link prediction. Dif- ferent topological proximity measures have been studied in the scientific literature for finding the probability of appearance of new links in a complex network. Supervised learning methods have also been used to combine the predictions made or information provided by different topological measures. They create predictive models using various topological measures. The problem of supervised learning for link prediction is a difficult problem especially due to the presence of heavy class imbalance. In this thesis, we search different alternative approaches to improve the performance of different dyadic approaches for link prediction.
