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.

Chapter 10: Novel Trends on Graphs

In the previous chapters, we described different supervised and unsupervised algorithms that can be used in a wide range of problems concerning graph data structures. However, the scientific literature on graph machine learning is vast and constantly evolving and every month, new algorithms are published. In this chapter, we will provide a high-level description of some new techniques and applications concerning graph machine learning.

This chapter will be divided into two main parts – advanced algorithms and applications. The first part is mainly devoted to describing some interesting new techniques in the graph machine learning domain. You will learn about some data sampling and data augmentation techniques for graphs based on random walk and generative neural networks. Then, you will learn about topological data analysis, a relatively novel tool for analyzing high-dimensional data. In the second part, we will provide you with some interesting...
