Download or read book Graph Sampling written by Li-Chun Zhang and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2021-12-27 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many technological, socio-economic, environmental, biomedical phenomena exhibit an underlying graph structure. Valued graph allows one to incorporate the connections or links among the population units in addition. The links may provide effectively access to the part of population that is the primary target, which is the case for many unconventional sampling methods, such as indirect, network, line-intercept or adaptive cluster sampling. Or, one may be interested in the structure of the connections, in terms of the corresponding graph properties or parameters, such as when various breadth- or depth-first non-exhaustive search algorithms are applied to obtain compressed views of large often dynamic graphs. Graph sampling provides a statistical approach to study real graphs from either of these perspectives. It is based on exploring the variation over all possible sample graphs (or subgraphs) which can be taken from the given population graph, by means of the relevant known sampling probabilities. The resulting design-based inference is valid whatever the unknown properties of the given real graphs. One-of-a-kind treatise of multidisciplinary topics relevant to statistics, mathematics and data science. Probabilistic treatment of breadth-first and depth-first non-exhaustive search algorithms in graphs. Presenting cutting-edge theory and methods based on latest research. Pathfinding for future research on sampling from real graphs. Graph Sampling can primarily be used as a resource for researchers working with sampling or graph problems, and as the basis of an advanced course for post-graduate students in statistics, mathematics and data science.

Download or read book Decentralized Query Processing Over Heterogeneous Sources of Knowledge Graphs written by L. Heling and published by IOS Press. This book was released on 2022-03-08 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Knowledge graphs are increasingly used in scientific and industrial applications. The large number and size of knowledge graphs published as Linked Data in autonomous sources has led to the development of various interfaces to query these knowledge graphs. Therefore, effective query processing approaches that enable efficient information retrieval from these knowledge graphs need to address the capabilities and limitations of different Linked Data Fragment interfaces. This book investigates novel approaches to addressing the challenges that arise in the presence of decentralized, heterogeneous sources of knowledge graphs. The effectiveness of these approaches is empirically evaluated and demonstrated using various real world and synthetic large-scale knowledge graphs throughout. First, a sample-based approach for generating fine-grained performance profiles is proposed, and it is demonstrated how the information from such profiles can be leveraged in cost model-based query planning. In addition, a sample-based data distribution profiling approach is advocated which aims to estimate the statistical profile features of large knowledge graphs and the applicability of these estimations in federated querying processing is demonstrated. The remainder of the book focuses on techniques to devise efficient query processing approaches when heterogeneous interfaces need to be queried but no fine-grained statistics are available. Robust techniques to support efficient query processing in these circumstances are investigated and results are shared to demonstrate the way in which these techniques can outperform state-of-the-art approaches. Finally, the author describes a framework for federated query processing over heterogeneous federations of Linked Data Fragments to exploit the capabilities of different sources by defining interface-aware approaches.

Download or read book Graph Representation Learning written by William L. William L. Hamilton and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-06-01 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Graph-structured data is ubiquitous throughout the natural and social sciences, from telecommunication networks to quantum chemistry. Building relational inductive biases into deep learning architectures is crucial for creating systems that can learn, reason, and generalize from this kind of data. Recent years have seen a surge in research on graph representation learning, including techniques for deep graph embeddings, generalizations of convolutional neural networks to graph-structured data, and neural message-passing approaches inspired by belief propagation. These advances in graph representation learning have led to new state-of-the-art results in numerous domains, including chemical synthesis, 3D vision, recommender systems, question answering, and social network analysis. This book provides a synthesis and overview of graph representation learning. It begins with a discussion of the goals of graph representation learning as well as key methodological foundations in graph theory and network analysis. Following this, the book introduces and reviews methods for learning node embeddings, including random-walk-based methods and applications to knowledge graphs. It then provides a technical synthesis and introduction to the highly successful graph neural network (GNN) formalism, which has become a dominant and fast-growing paradigm for deep learning with graph data. The book concludes with a synthesis of recent advancements in deep generative models for graphs—a nascent but quickly growing subset of graph representation learning.

Download or read book Understanding Deep Learning written by Simon J.D. Prince and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2023-12-05 with total page 544 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An authoritative, accessible, and up-to-date treatment of deep learning that strikes a pragmatic middle ground between theory and practice. Deep learning is a fast-moving field with sweeping relevance in today’s increasingly digital world. Understanding Deep Learning provides an authoritative, accessible, and up-to-date treatment of the subject, covering all the key topics along with recent advances and cutting-edge concepts. Many deep learning texts are crowded with technical details that obscure fundamentals, but Simon Prince ruthlessly curates only the most important ideas to provide a high density of critical information in an intuitive and digestible form. From machine learning basics to advanced models, each concept is presented in lay terms and then detailed precisely in mathematical form and illustrated visually. The result is a lucid, self-contained textbook suitable for anyone with a basic background in applied mathematics. Up-to-date treatment of deep learning covers cutting-edge topics not found in existing texts, such as transformers and diffusion models Short, focused chapters progress in complexity, easing students into difficult concepts Pragmatic approach straddling theory and practice gives readers the level of detail required to implement naive versions of models Streamlined presentation separates critical ideas from background context and extraneous detail Minimal mathematical prerequisites, extensive illustrations, and practice problems make challenging material widely accessible Programming exercises offered in accompanying Python Notebooks
