Research interests

I research representation learning on large-scale graphs via deep learning and applied machine learning techniques. Specifically, my research topics are:

  • Scalable representation learning under various graph models such as the knowledge graph, heterogeneous graphs, temporal graphs, static homogeneous graphs, etc.
  • Graph summarization to reduce the complexity of the large-scale real-world graph data while retaining the computational power of models in machine learning tasks.
  • Domain-specific graph analysis and discovery.

My research applications include:

  • Web data entity linkage in knowledge integration and knowledge base construction, i.e., consolidate records from different web sources that represent the same real-world entity, such as the same book listed in different online sales websites.
  • Multi-modality representation fusion for recommendation & customization, e.g., how to incorporate the multi-modal information of a book (such as the image of its cover and the textual description) to better represent it for classification or advertising to customers?
