Overview of this book

Graph Machine Learning will introduce you to a set of tools used for processing network data and leveraging the power of the relation between entities that can be used for predictive, modeling, and analytics tasks. The first chapters will introduce you to graph theory and graph machine learning, as well as the scope of their potential use. You’ll then learn all you need to know about the main machine learning models for graph representation learning: their purpose, how they work, and how they can be implemented in a wide range of supervised and unsupervised learning applications. You'll build a complete machine learning pipeline, including data processing, model training, and prediction in order to exploit the full potential of graph data. After covering the basics, you’ll be taken through real-world scenarios such as extracting data from social networks, text analytics, and natural language processing (NLP) using graphs and financial transaction systems on graphs. You’ll also learn how to build and scale out data-driven applications for graph analytics to store, query, and process network information, and explore the latest trends on graphs. By the end of this machine learning book, you will have learned essential concepts of graph theory and all the algorithms and techniques used to build successful machine learning applications.

Summary

In this section, we have provided you with the basic concepts of how to design, implement, and deploy data-driven applications that resort to graph modeling and leverage graph structures. We have highlighted the importance of a modular approach, which is usually the key to seamlessly scaling any data-driven use case from early-stage MVPs to production systems that can handle a large amount of data and large computational performances.

We have outlined the main architectural pattern, which should provide you with a guide when designing the backbone structure of your data-driven applications. We then continued by describing the main components that are the basis of graph-powered applications: graph processing engines, graph databases, and graph querying languages. For each component, we have provided an overview of the most common tools and libraries, with practical examples that will help you to build and implement your solutions. You should thus have by now a good overview...
