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.
-
Temporal link prediction and anomaly detection in heterogeneous web networks, e.g., predicting the potential friend of a user in social networks even though they didn’t know about each other in the past, as well as detecting the fraud (such as a bot for malicious advertising) in user-product networks of the online sales website. This application aims to improve the quality of advertisement and customer purchasing experience.
-
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?
