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 chapter, we provided a high-level overview of some emerging graph machine learning algorithms and their applications for new domains. At the beginning of this chapter, we described, using the example provided in Chapter 8, Graph Analysis for Credit Card Transactions, some sampling and augmentation algorithms for graph data. We provided some Python libraries that can be used to deal with graph sampling and graph data augmentation tasks.

We continued by providing a general description of topological data analysis and how this technique has recently been used in different domains.

Finally, we provided several descriptions of new application domains, such as neuroscience chemistry, and biology. We also described how machine learning algorithms can also be used to solve other tasks, such as image classification, shape analysis, and recommendation systems.

This is it! In this book, we provided an overview of the most important graph machine learning techniques and...
