Advanced Deep Graph Learning: Deeper, Faster, Robuster, and Unsupervised

Abstract

Many real data come in the form of non-grid objects, i.e. graphs, from social networks to molecules. Adaptation of deep learning from grid-alike data (e.g. images) to graphs has recently received unprecedented attention from both machine learning and data mining communities, leading to a new cross-domain field---Deep Graph Learning (DGL). Instead of painstaking feature engineering, DGL aims to learn informative representations of graphs in an end-to-end manner. It has exhibited remarkable success in various tasks, such as node/graph classification, link prediction, etc.

Whilst several previous tutorials have been made for the introduction of Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) in TheWebConf, seldom is there focus on the expressivity, trainability, and generalization of DGL algorithms. To make it more prevailing and advanced, this tutorial mainly covers the key achievements of DGL in recent years. Specifically, we will discuss four essential topics, that is, how to design and train deep GNNs in an efficient manner, how to adopt GNNs to cope with large-scale graphs, the adversarial attack on GNNs, and the unsupervised training of GNNs. Meanwhile, we will introduce the applications of DGL towards various domains, including but not limited to drug discovery, computer vision, and social network analysis.
