Book excerpt: Pattern discovery and predictive modeling from seemingly related Big Data represented as massive, ad-hoc, heterogeneous networks (e.g., extremely large graphs with complex, possibly unknown structure) is an outstanding problem in many application domains. To address this problem, we are designing graph-mining algorithms capable of discovering relationship-patterns from such data and using those discovered patterns as features for classification and predictive modeling. Specifically, we are: (i) exploring statistical properties, mechanics and generative models of behavior patterns in heterogeneous information networks, (ii) developing novel, automated and scalable graph-pattern discovery algorithms and (iii) applying our relationship-analytics (data science + network science) expertise to domains spanning healthcare to homeland security.

Download or read book Mining on Graphs Graph Neural Network and Applications written by Yuxiang Ren and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The graph is a data structure that exists widely around us, including traditional fields like physics, biology, and cosmology, as well as emergent fields like social networks, software engineering, and financial trading platforms. The graph-structured data contains objects (nodes) information and reflects their relationships (edges). The learning tasks become more challenging when considering the nodes and edge information simultaneously. Traditional machine learning methods focus on nodes' attributes but ignore the structural information. We are now in an era of deep learning, which outperforms traditional machine learning methods in a wide range of tasks and has a significant impact on our daily lives. Driving by deep learning and neural networks, the deep learning-based graph neural networks (GNNs) become convincing and attractive tools to handle this non-Euclidean data structure. The dissertation thesis includes my research works throughout the Ph. D. research in two directions of graph data mining. The first direction is about the innovation and improvement of graph neural networks. A large number of GNNs have appeared, but as a general representation learning model, there are still some difficult topics worth delving into. I focus on three questions: Unsupervised/self-supervised Learning of GNNs, GNNs for heterogeneous graphs, and Training larger and deeper GNNs. Concerning unsupervised/self-supervised learning of GNNs, the dissertation introduces my research works contributing to it in Chapter 3 and Chapter 4. In Chapter 5, I introduce a mutual information maximization-based GNN for heterogeneous graph representation learning. Chapter 6 discusses my contributions to training larger and deeper GNNs through a subgraph-based learning framework. The other direction is the Application of GNNs in Real-world Topics. As an effective tool for processing graph data, GNNs being applied to solve real-world graph mining problems can further verify the effectiveness. Meanwhile, the application of GNNs requires a combination of domain knowledge and specific data modeling, which is also a challenge that needs to be addressed. In Chapter 7, I apply GNNs to the emerging and non-trivial topic of fake news detection. When dealing with the fake news detection topic, I innovate the GNNs model to handle the challenges of the fake news detection problem, which is critical for GNNs to exert the best effect. Experiments with real-world fake news data show that the novel GNN can outperform text-based models and other graph-based models, especially when using less labeled news data. In the last chapter, I provide concluding thoughts about this dissertation thesis.
Download or read book Mining and Modeling of Large and Time evolving Graphs written by Katherine P. Macropol and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vast amounts of data are generated each day from applications such as social networks, biological pathways, email graphs, and the word-wide web. This data represents an amazing opportunity for the discovery of interesting, useful, and possibly even life saving new knowledge. Additionally, since the node and edge structures of graph representations can naturally capture the organization and interactions present in many types of data, they are commonly used to represent a wide variety of complex datasets. The analysis, mining, and modeling of these graph datasets have inspired numerous highly active areas of research. This has led to many important applications, including the discovery of new gene and protein functions, anomaly detection in computer networks, and the extraction of significant and influential social groups. However, while there has been much focus on the mining and modeling of graphs in recent years, the vast majority of previous research has dealt with simple, static graph representations. Despite this focus on simple, static graphs, most real world graphs are large-scale, dynamic, and heterogeneous. Their nodes and edges can grow from the thousands to the billions, as well as change across time and have additional information (such as labels, text, weights, images, etc.) associated with them. By disregarding these real-world graph properties, a valuable source of important knowledge and applications is ignored. In this dissertation, I focus on the mining and modeling of these large-scale, heterogeneous, and time evolving graphs. I introduce several new techniques capable of mining clusters from graphs with greater precision and speed, as well as multiple new dynamic graph modeling algorithms capable of predicting future graph structure and properties such as user communication and sentiment across time.

Download or read book Querying Graphs written by Angela Bonifati and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-06-01 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Graph data modeling and querying arises in many practical application domains such as social and biological networks where the primary focus is on concepts and their relationships and the rich patterns in these complex webs of interconnectivity. In this book, we present a concise unified view on the basic challenges which arise over the complete life cycle of formulating and processing queries on graph databases. To that purpose, we present all major concepts relevant to this life cycle, formulated in terms of a common and unifying ground: the property graph data model—the pre-dominant data model adopted by modern graph database systems. We aim especially to give a coherent and in-depth perspective on current graph querying and an outlook for future developments. Our presentation is self-contained, covering the relevant topics from: graph data models, graph query languages and graph query specification, graph constraints, and graph query processing. We conclude by indicating major open research challenges towards the next generation of graph data management systems.

Download or read book Geology of Millard County Utah written by Lehi F. Hintze and published by Utah Geological Survey. This book was released on 2003 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This bulletin serves not only to introduce the non-geologist to the rich geology of Millard County, but also to provide professional geologists with technical information on the stratigraphy, paleontology, and structural geology of the county. Millard County is unique among Utah’s counties in that it contains an exceptionally complete billion-year geologic record. This happened because until about 200 million years ago the area of present-day Millard County lay near sea level and was awash in shallow marine waters on a continental shelf upon which a stack of fossil-bearing strata more than 6 miles (10 km) thick slowly accumulated. This bulletin summarizes what is known about these strata, as well as younger rocks and surficial deposits in the county, and provides references to scientific papers that describe them in greater detail. Mountains North 30 x 60 (1:100,000-scale) quadrangles. These companion maps and this bulletin portray the geology of Millard County more completely and accurately than any previously published work.

Download or read book Quarrying Opencast and Alluvial Mining written by John Sinclair and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quarrying and all other branches of surface mining rather than diminishing in importance have become of more and more consequence economically, industrially and particularly with the depletion of high-grade deep-mined mineral reserves. Low-grade minerals require low cost extraction and this in many cases necessitates very expensive mechanized equipment with the cost of individual units running into millions of pounds in the case of large scale operations with high productivity. There has been, and there still is, a tendency for the smaller single quarries to be amalgamated into groups with large financial resources and therefore with the ability to purchase these expensive machines so necessary to make operations viable. This in turn requires wider administrative and technical knowledge in executives of these groups and as these often handle a wide range of products from widely differing systems of working, this technical knowledge should embrace the exploitation of many different types of deposits. There is, at present, a great dearth throughout the world of such qualified executives as is apparent from advertisements of vacancies in the technical press. It would appear that these industries offer an attractive career to the widely qualified and experienced technologist in these fields. This book deals with methods of working in the surface extractive indus tries, quarry management and power supply-but does not deal with related ancillary processes except where these affect quarrying operations.
