Stanford CS224W: Machine Learning with Graphs - Stanford CS224W: Machine Learning with Graphs | 2021 | Lecture 3.1 - Node Embeddings

For more information about Stanford’s Artificial Intelligence professional and graduate programs, visit: https://stanford.io/3Cv1BEU Jure Leskovec Computer Science, PhD From previous lectures we see how we can use machine learning with feature engineering to make predictions on nodes, links and graphs. In this video we’ll focus on a new technique called graph representation learning that could alleviate the need to do feature engineering. In graph representation learning, we can map nodes into an embedding space such that similarity of nodes in graph is reflected by distance between their embeddings. We introduce the general components in the node embedding algorithm, namely the encoder and decoder, as well as how to define the similarity function.
