Learning with Graphs/Networks

We design machine learning models for solving diverse graph/network problems, such as attributed network embedding, knowledge graph alignment, knowledge graph completion, dynamic graph modeling, spatial-temporal network embedding and influential nodes tracking in dynamic networks.
