Abstract:
Compared to sequential learning models, graph-based neural networks exhibit some excellent properties, such as ability capturing global information. In this paper, we investigate graph-based neural networks for text classification problem. A new framework TensorGCN (tensor graph convolutional networks), is presented for this task. A text graph tensor is firstly constructed to describe semantic, syntactic, and sequential contextual information. Then, two kinds of propagation learning perform on the text graph tensor. The first is intra-graph propagation used for aggregating information from neighborhood nodes in a single graph. The second is inter-graph propagation used for harmonizing heterogeneous information between graphs. Extensive experiments are conducted on benchmark datasets, and the results illustrate the effectiveness of our proposed framework. Our proposed TensorGCN presents an effective way to harmonize and integrate heterogeneous information from different kinds of graphs.

Abstract:
Graphs provide us with a powerful and flexible representation formalism for pattern classification. Many classification algorithms have been proposed in the literature. However, the vast majority of these algorithms rely on vectorial data descriptions and cannot directly be applied to graphs. Recently, a growing interest in graph kernel methods can be observed. Graph kernels aim at bridging the gap between the high representational power and flexibility of graphs and the large amount of algorithms available for object representations in terms of feature vectors. In the present paper, we propose an approach transforming graphs into n-dimensional real vectors by means of prototype selection and graph edit distance computation. This approach allows one to build graph kernels in a straightforward way. It is not only applicable to graphs, but also to other kind of symbolic data in conjunction with any kind of dissimilarity measure. Thus it is characterized by a high degree of flexibility. With several experimental results, we prove the robustness and flexibility of our new method and show that our approach outperforms other graph classification methods on several graph data sets of diverse nature.

Abstract:
Hrushovski's generalization of the Fraisse construction has provided a rich source of examples in model theory, model theoretic algebra and random graph theory. The construction assigns to a dimension function δ and a class K of finite (finitely generated) models a countable ‘generic’ structure. We investigate here some of the simplest possible cases of this construction. The class K will be a class of finite graphs; the dimension, δ(A), of a finite graph A will be the cardinality of A minus the number of edges of A. Finally and significantly we restrict to classes which are δ-invariant. A class of finite graphs is δ-invariant if membership of a graph in the class is determined (as specified below) by the dimension and cardinality of the graph, and dimension and cardinality of all its subgraphs. Note that a generic graph constructed as in Hrushovski's example of a new strongly minimal set does not arise from a δ-invariant class.We show there are countably many δ-invariant (strong) amalgamation classes of finite graphs which are closed under subgraph and describe the countable generic models for these classes. This analysis provides ω-stable generic graphs with an array of saturation and model completeness properties which belies the similarity of their construction. In particular, we answer a question of Baizhanov (unpublished) and Baldwin [5] and show that this construction can yield an ω-stable generic which is not saturated. Further, we exhibit some ω-stable generic graphs that are not model complete.

Abstract:
AbstractOne way to study certain classes of polynomials is by considering examples that are attached to combinatorial objects. Any graph $G$ has an associated reciprocal polynomial $R_{G}$, and with two particular classes of reciprocal polynomials in mind one can ask the questions: (a) when is $R_{G}$ a product of cyclotomic polynomials (giving the cyclotomic graphs)? (b) when does $R_{G}$ have the minimal polynomial of a Salem number as its only non-cyclotomic factor (the non-trivial Salem graphs)? Cyclotomic graphs were classified by Smith (Combinatorial structures and their applications, Proceedings of Calgary International Conference, Calgary, AB, 1969 (eds R. Guy, H. Hanani, H. Saver and J. Schönheim; Gordon and Breach, New York, 1970) 403–406); the maximal connected ones are known as Smith graphs. Salem graphs are ‘spectrally close’ to being cyclotomic, in that nearly all their eigenvalues are in the critical interval $[-2,2]$. On the other hand, Salem graphs do not need to be ‘combinatorially close’ to being cyclotomic: the largest cyclotomic induced subgraph might be comparatively tiny.We define an $m$-Salem graph to be a connected Salem graph $G$ for which $m$ is minimal such that there exists an induced cyclotomic subgraph of $G$ that has $m$ fewer vertices than $G$. The $1$-Salem subgraphs are both spectrally close and combinatorially close to being cyclotomic. Moreover, every Salem graph contains a $1$-Salem graph as an induced subgraph, so these $1$-Salem graphs provide some necessary substructure of all Salem graphs. The main result of this paper is a complete combinatorial description of all $1$-Salem graphs: in the non-bipartite case there are $25$ infinite families and $383$ sporadic examples.

Abstract:
Due to the propagation of graph data, there has been a sharp focus on developing effective methods for classifying the graph object. As most of the proposed graph classification techniques though effective are constrained by high computational overhead, there is a consistent effort to improve upon the existing classification algorithms in terms of higher accuracy and less computational time. In this paper, an attempt has been made to classify graphs by extracting various features and selecting the important features using feature selection algorithms. Since all the extracted graph-based features need not be equally important, only the most important features are selected by using back propagation learning algorithm. The results of the proposed study of feature-based approach using back propagation learning algorithm lead to higher classification accuracy with faster computational time in comparison to other graph kernels. It also appears to be more effective for large unlabeled graphs.

Abstract:
Recently, techniques for applying convolutional neural networks to graph-structured data have emerged. Graph convolutional neural networks (GCNNs) have been used to address node and graph classification and matrix completion. Although the performance has been impressive, the current implementations have limited capability to incorporate uncertainty in the graph structure. Almost all GCNNs process a graph as though it is a ground-truth depiction of the relationship between nodes, but often the graphs employed in applications are themselves derived from noisy data or modelling assumptions. Spurious edges may be included; other edges may be missing between nodes that have very strong relationships. In this paper we adopt a Bayesian approach, viewing the observed graph as a realization from a parametric family of random graphs. We then target inference of the joint posterior of the random graph parameters and the node (or graph) labels. We present the Bayesian GCNN framework and develop an iterative learning procedure for the case of assortative mixed-membership stochastic block models. We present the results of experiments that demonstrate that the Bayesian formulation can provide better performance when there are very few labels available during the training process.

Abstract:
In this paper we describe a classification method that allows the use of graph-based representations of data instead of traditional vector-based representations. We compare the vector approach combined with the k-Nearest Neighbor (k-NN) algorithm to the graph-matching approach when classifying three different web document collections, using the leave-one-out approach for measuring classification accuracy. We also compare the performance of different graph distance measures as well as various document representations that utilize graphs. The results show the graph-based approach can outperform traditional vector-based methods in terms of accuracy, dimensionality and execution time.

Abstract:
AbstractWe address the classification problem for graph C*-algebras of finite graphs (finitely many edges and vertices), containing the class of Cuntz-Krieger algebras as a prominent special case. Contrasting earlier work, we do not assume that the graphs satisfy the standard condition (K), so that the graph C*-algebras may come with uncountably many ideals.We find that in this generality, stable isomorphism of graph C*-algebras does not coincide with the geometric notion of Cuntz move equivalence. However, adding a modest condition on the graphs, the two notions are proved to be mutually equivalent and equivalent to the C*-algebras having isomorphicK-theories. This proves in turn that under this condition, the graph C*-algebras are in fact classifiable byK-theory, providing, in particular, complete classification when the C* - algebras in question are either of real rank zero or type I/postliminal. The key ingredient in obtaining these results is a characterization of Cuntz move equivalence using the adjacency matrices of the graphs.Our results are applied to discuss the classification problem for the quantumlens spaces defined by Hong and Szymański, and to complete the classification of graph C*-algebras associated with all simple graphs with four vertices or less.

Abstract:
Neural networks are increasingly used for graph classification in a variety of contexts. Social media is a critical application area in this space, however the characteristics of social media graphs differ from those seen in most popular benchmark datasets. Social networks tend to be large and sparse, while benchmarks are small and dense. Classically, large and sparse networks are analyzed by studying the distribution of local properties. Inspired by this, we introduce Graph-Hist: an end-to-end architecture that extracts a graph's latent local features, bins nodes together along 1-D cross sections of the feature space, and classifies the graph based on this multi-channel histogram. We show that Graph-Hist improves state of the art performance on true social media benchmark datasets, while still performing well on other benchmarks. Finally, we demonstrate Graph-Hist's performance by conducting bot detection in social media. While sophisticated bot and cyborg accounts increasingly evade traditional detection methods, they leave artificial artifacts in their conversational graph that are detected through graph classification. We apply Graph-Hist to classify these conversational graphs. In the process, we confirm that social media graphs are different than most baselines and that Graph-Hist outperforms existing bot-detection models.

Abstract:
The aim of this thesis is to develop online kernel based algorithms for learning clas sification functions over a graph. An important question in machine learning is: how to learn functions in a high dimension One of the benefits of using a graphical representation of data is that it can provide a dimensionality reduction of the data to the number of nodes plus edges in the graph. Graphs are useful discrete repre sentations of data that have already been used successfully to incorporate structural information in data to aid in semi-supervised learning techniques. In this thesis, an online learning framework is used to provide guarantees on performance of the algo rithms developed. The first step in developing these algorithms required motivating the idea of a "natural" kernel defined on a graph. This natural kernel turns out to be the Laplacian operator associated with the graph. The next step was to look at a well known online algorithm - the perceptron algorithm - with the associated bound, and formulate it for online learning with this kernel. This was a matter of using the Laplacian kernel with the kernel perceptron algorithm. For a binary classification problem, the bound on the performance of this algorithm can be interpreted in terms of natural properties of the graph, such as the graph diameter. Further algorithms were developed, motivated by the idea of a series of alternate projections, which also share this bound interpretation. The minimum norm interpolation algorithm was developed in batch mode and then transformed into an online algorithm. These al gorithms were tested and compared with other proposed algorithms on toy and real data sets. The main comparison algorithm used was k-nearest neighbour along the graph. Once the kernel has been calculated, the new algorithms perform well and offer some advantages over other approaches in terms of computational complexity.

Abstract:
This thesis is concerned with the graphical modelling of multivariate data. The main aim of graphical modelling is to provide an easy to understand visual representation of, often complex, data relationships by fitting graphs to data. The graphs consist of nodes denoting random variables and connecting lines or edges are used to depict variable dependencies. Equivalently, the absence of particular edges in a graph describe conditional independencies between random variables. The resulting structure is called a conditional independence graph. The use of conditional independence graphs as a guide to discrete (mainly binary), normal and mixed conditional Gaussian model building is described. The problem of parameter estimation in fitting conditional Gaussian models is considered. A FORTRAN 77 program called CGM is developed and used to fit conditional Gaussian models. Submodel specification, model selection criteria and goodness-of-fit are explored. A procedure for discriminating between groups is constructed using fitted conditional Gaussian models. A Bayesian classification procedure is considered and is used to compute posterior classification probabilities. Standard bias-correcting error rates are used to test the performance of estimated classification rules. The graph-theoretic methodology described in this thesis is applied to a Scandinavian study of intrauterine foetal growth retardation also known as a small-for-gestational age (SGA) birth. Possible pre-pregnancy risk factors associated with SGA births are investigated using conditional independence graphs and an attempt is made to classify SGA births using fitted conditional Gaussian models.

Abstract:
Donat un conjunt d'objectes, el concepte genèric de mediana està definit com l'objecte amb la suma de distàncies a tot el conjunt, més petita. Sovint, aquest concepte és usat per a obtenir el representant del conjunt.
En el reconeixement estructural de patrons, els grafs han estat usats normalment per a representar objectes complexos. En el domini dels grafs, el concepte de mediana és conegut com median graph. Potencialment, té les mateixes aplicacions que el concepte de mediana per poder ser usat com a representant d'un conjunt de grafs.
Tot i la seva simple definició i les potencials aplicacions, s'ha demostrat que el seu càlcul és una tasca extremadament complexa. Tots els algorismes existents només han estat capaços de treballar amb conjunts petits de grafs, i per tant, la seva aplicació ha estat limitada en molts casos a usar dades sintètiques sense significat real. Així, tot i el seu potencial, ha restat com un concepte eminentment teòric.
L'objectiu principal d'aquesta tesi doctoral és el d'investigar a fons la teoria i l'algorísmica relacionada amb el concepte de medinan graph, amb l'objectiu final d'extendre la seva aplicabilitat i lliurar tot el seu potencial al món de les aplicacions reals. Per això, presentem nous resultats teòrics i també nous algorismes per al seu càlcul. Des d'un punt de vista teòric aquesta tesi fa dues aportacions fonamentals. Per una banda, s'introdueix el nou concepte d'spectral median graph. Per altra banda es mostra que certes de les propietats teòriques del median graph poden ser millorades sota determinades condicions. Més enllà de les aportacioncs teòriques, proposem cinc noves alternatives per al seu càlcul. La primera d'elles és una conseqüència directa del concepte d'spectral median graph. Després, basats en les millores de les propietats teòriques, presentem dues alternatives més per a la seva obtenció. Finalment, s'introdueix una nova tècnica per al càlcul del median basat en el mapeig de grafs en espais de vectors, i es proposen dos nous algorismes més.
L'avaluació experimental dels mètodes proposats utilitzant una base de dades semi-artificial (símbols gràfics) i dues amb dades reals (mollècules i pàgines web), mostra que aquests mètodes són molt més eficients que els existents. A més, per primera vegada, hem demostrat que el median graph pot ser un bon representant d'un conjunt d'objectes utilitzant grans quantitats de dades. Hem dut a terme experiments de classificació i clustering que validen aquesta hipòtesi i permeten preveure una pròspera aplicació del median graph a un bon nombre d'algorismes d'aprenentatge.
Given a set of objects, the generic concept of median is defined as the object with the smallest sum of distances to all the objects in the set. It has been often used as a good alternative to obtain a representative of the set.
In structural pattern recognition, graphs are normally used to represent structured objects. In the graph domain, the concept analogous to the median is known as the median graph. By extension, it has the same potential applications as the generic median in order to be used as the representative of a set of graphs.
Despite its simple definition and potential applications, its computation has been shown as an extremely complex task. All the existing algorithms can only deal with small sets of graphs, and its application has been constrained in most cases to the use of synthetic data with no real meaning. Thus, it has mainly remained in the box of the theoretical concepts.
The main objective of this work is to further investigate both the theory and the algorithmic underlying the concept of the median graph with the final objective to extend its applicability and bring all its potential to the world of real applications. To this end, new theory and new algorithms for its computation are reported. From a theoretical point of view, this thesis makes two main contributions. On one hand, the new concept of spectral median graph. On the other hand, we show that some of the existing theoretical properties of the median graph can be improved under some specific conditions. In addition to these theoretical contributions, we propose five new ways to compute the median graph. One of them is a direct consequence of the spectral median graph concept. In addition, we provide two new algorithms based on the new theoretical properties. Finally, we present a novel technique for the median graph computation based on graph embedding into vector spaces. With this technique two more new algorithms are presented.
The experimental evaluation of the proposed methods on one semi-artificial and two real-world datasets, representing graphical symbols, molecules and webpages, shows that these methods are much more ecient than the existing ones. In addition, we have been able to proof for the first time that the median graph can be a good representative of a class in large datasets. We have performed some classification and clustering experiments that validate this hypothesis and permit to foresee a successful application of the median graph to a variety of machine learning algorithms.

Abstract:
The study of non-coding RNA genes has received increased attention in recent years fuelled by accumulating evidence that larger portions of genomes than previously acknowledged are transcribed into RNA molecules of mostly unknown function, as well as the discovery of novel non-coding RNA types and functional RNA elements. Here, we demonstrate that specific properties of graphs that represent the predicted RNA secondary structure reflect functional information. We introduce a computational algorithm and an associated web-based tool (GraPPLE) for classifying non-coding RNA molecules as functional and, furthermore, into Rfam families based on their graph properties. Unlike sequence-similarity-based methods and covariance models, GraPPLE is demonstrated to be more robust with regard to increasing sequence divergence, and when combined with existing methods, leads to a significant improvement of prediction accuracy. Furthermore, graph properties identified as most informative are shown to provide an understanding as to what particular structural features render RNA molecules functional. Thus, GraPPLE may offer a valuable computational filtering tool to identify potentially interesting RNA molecules among large candidate datasets.

Abstract:
Polarimetric Synthetic Aperture Radar (POLSAR) data have been commercially available for the last few years, which has increased demand for its operational use in remote sensing applications. Segmentation and classification of image data are important tasks for POLSAR data analysis and interpretation, which often requires human interaction. Existing strategies for automated POLSAR data analysis have utilized the polarimetric attributes of pixels, which involve target decompositions based on physical, mathematical or statistical models. A well-established and widely-used technique is the Wishart classifier, which is used as the benchmark in this work. In this thesis, a new methodology is used that exploits both the polarimetric attributes of pixels, and the visual aspect of the image data through computer vision principles. In this process, the performance level of humans is desired, and several features or cues, inspired by perceptual organization, are utilized, i.e., patch-based similarity of intensity, contour, spatial proximity, and the polarimetric cue. The pair-wise grouping technique of Spectral Graph Partitioning (SGP) is employed to perform the segmentation and classification tasks based on graph cuts. A new classification algorithm is developed for POLSAR data, where segmentation based on the contour and spatial proximity cues is followed by classification based on the polarimetric cue (i.e., similarity of coherency matrices). It offers a way to utilize the complete polarimetric information through the coherency matrix representation in the SGP framework. The proposed unsupervised technique aims to automate the data analysis process for the mapping of distributed targets. Two fully polarimetric data sets in L-, and C-bands acquired by AIRSAR and the Convair-580, both containing agricultural fields, were used to obtain the experimental results and analysis. The results suggest quantitative and qualitative improvements over the Wishart classifier. This method is suitable for applications where homogeneity within each separated region is desirable, such as mapping crops or other types of terrain. The SGP methodology used in the developed scheme is flexible in the definition of affinity functions and will likely allow further improvements through the addition of different image features and data sources.

Abstract:
Sequences of event intervals occur in several application domains, while their inherent complexity hinders scalable solutions to tasks such as clustering and classification. In this thesis, we propose a novel spectral embedding representation of event interval sequences that relies on bipartite graphs. More concretely, each event interval sequence is represented by a bipartite graph by following three main steps: (1) creating a hash table that can quickly convert a collection of event interval sequences into a bipartite graph representation, (2) creating and regularizing a bi-adjacency matrix corresponding to the bipartite graph, (3) defining a spectral embedding mapping on the bi-adjacency matrix. In addition, we show that substantial improvements can be achieved with regard to classification performance through pruning parameters that capture the nature of the relations formed by the event intervals. We demonstrate through extensive experimental evaluation on five real-world datasets that our approach can obtain runtime speedups of up to two orders of magnitude compared to other state-of-the-art methods and similar or better clustering and classification performance.
Sekvenser av händelsesintervall förekommer i flera applikationsdomäner, medan deras inneboende komplexitet hindrar skalbara lösningar på uppgifter som kluster och klassificering. I den här avhandlingen föreslår vi en ny spektral inbäddningsrepresentation av händelsens intervallsekvenser som förlitar sig på bipartitgrafer. Mer konkret representeras varje händelsesintervalsekvens av en bipartitgraf genom att följa tre huvudsteg: (1) skapa en hashtabell som snabbt kan konvertera en samling händelsintervalsekvenser till en bipartig grafrepresentation, (2) skapa och reglera en bi-adjacency-matris som motsvarar bipartitgrafen, (3) definiera en spektral inbäddning på bi-adjacensmatrisen. Dessutom visar vi att väsentliga förbättringar kan uppnås med avseende på klassificeringsprestanda genom beskärningsparametrar som fångar arten av relationerna som bildas av händelsesintervallen. Vi demonstrerar genom omfattande experimentell utvärdering på fem verkliga datasätt att vår strategi kan erhålla runtime-hastigheter på upp till två storlekar jämfört med andra modernaste metoder och liknande eller bättre kluster- och klassificerings- prestanda.

Abstract:
With the development of graph neural networks, this novel neural network has been applied in a broader and broader range of fields. One of the thorny problems researchers face in this field is selecting suitable pooling methods for a specific research task from various existing pooling methods. In this work, based on the existing mainstream graph pooling methods, we develop a benchmark neural network framework that can be used to compare these different graph pooling methods. By using the framework, we compare four mainstream graph pooling methods and explore their characteristics. Furthermore, we expand two methods for explaining neural network decisions for convolution neural networks to graph neural networks and compare them with the existing GNNExplainer. We run experiments on standard graph classification tasks using the developed framework and discuss the different pooling methods’ distinctive characteristics. Furthermore, we verify the proposed extensions of the explanation methods’ correctness and measure the agreements among the produced explanations. Finally, we explore the characteristics of different methods for explaining neural network decisions and the insights of different pooling methods by applying these explanation methods.

I den här arbetet, baserat på de befintliga vanliga grafpoolingsmetoderna, utvecklar vi ett riktmärke för neuralt nätverk ram som kan användas till olika diagram pooling metoders jämförelse. Genom att använda ramverket jämför vi fyra allmängiltig diagram pooling metod och utforska deras egenskaper. Dessutom utvidgar vi två metoder för att förklara beslut om neuralt nätverk från convolution neurala nätverk till diagram neurala nätverk och jämföra dem med befintliga GNNExplainer. Vi kör experiment av grafisk klassificering uppgifter under benchmarkingramverk och hittade olika egenskaper av olika diagram pooling metoder. Dessutom verifierar vi korrekthet i dessa förklarningsmetoder som vi utvecklade och mäter överenskommelserna mellan dem. Till slut, vi försöker utforska egenskaper av olika metoder för att förklara neuralt nätverks beslut och deras betydelse för att välja pooling metoder i grafisk neuralt nätverk.

Abstract:
Knowledge Graphs are fascinating concepts in machine learning as they can hold usefully structured information in the form of entities and their relations. Despite the valuable applications of such graphs, most knowledge bases remain incomplete. This missing information harms downstream applications such as information retrieval and opens a window for research in statistical relational learning tasks such as node classification and link prediction. This work proposes a deep learning framework based on existing relational convolutional (R-GCN) layers to learn on highly multi-relational data characteristic of realistic knowledge graphs for node property classification tasks. We propose a deep and improved variant, Deep-RGCNs, with dense and residual skip connections between layers. These skip connections are known to be very successful with popular deep CNN-architectures such as ResNet and DenseNet. In our experiments, we investigate and compare the performance of Deep-RGCN with different baselines on multi-relational graph benchmark datasets, AIFB and MUTAG, and show how the deep architecture boosts the performance in the task of node property classification. We also study the training performance of Deep-RGCNs (with N layers) and discuss the gradient vanishing and over-smoothing problems common to deeper GCN architectures.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Consider a data set with a categorical response variable and a set of explanatory variables. The response variable can have two or more categories and the explanatory variables can be numerical or categorical. This is a typical setup for a classification analysis, where we want to model the response based on the explanatory variables. Traditional statistical methods have been developed under certain assumptions such as: the explanatory variables are numeric only and! or the data follow a multivariate normal distribution. hl practice such assumptions are not always met. Different research fields generate data that have a mixed structure (categorical and numeric) and researchers are often interested using all these data in the analysis. hl recent years robust methods such as classification trees have become the substitute for traditional statistical methods when the above assumptions are violated. Classification trees are not only an effective classification method, but offer many other advantages. The aim of this thesis is to highlight the advantages of classification trees. hl the chapters that follow, the theory of and further developments on classification trees are discussed. This forms the foundation for the CART software which is discussed in Chapter 5, as well as other software in which classification tree modeling is possible. We will compare classification trees to parametric-, kernel- and k-nearest-neighbour discriminant analyses. A neural network is also compared to classification trees and finally we draw some conclusions on classification trees and its comparisons with other methods.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Beskou 'n datastel met 'n kategoriese respons veranderlike en 'n stel verklarende veranderlikes. Die respons veranderlike kan twee of meer kategorieë hê en die verklarende veranderlikes kan numeries of kategories wees. Hierdie is 'n tipiese opset vir 'n klassifikasie analise, waar ons die respons wil modelleer deur gebruik te maak van die verklarende veranderlikes. Tradisionele statistiese metodes is ontwikkelonder sekere aannames soos: die verklarende veranderlikes is slegs numeries en! of dat die data 'n meerveranderlike normaal verdeling het. In die praktyk word daar nie altyd voldoen aan hierdie aannames nie. Verskillende navorsingsvelde genereer data wat 'n gemengde struktuur het (kategories en numeries) en navorsers wil soms al hierdie data gebruik in die analise. In die afgelope jare het robuuste metodes soos klassifikasie bome die alternatief geword vir tradisionele statistiese metodes as daar nie aan bogenoemde aannames voldoen word nie. Klassifikasie bome is nie net 'n effektiewe klassifikasie metode nie, maar bied baie meer voordele. Die doel van hierdie werkstuk is om die voordele van klassifikasie bome uit te wys. In die hoofstukke wat volg word die teorie en verdere ontwikkelinge van klassifikasie bome bespreek. Hierdie vorm die fondament vir die CART sagteware wat bespreek word in Hoofstuk 5, asook ander sagteware waarin klassifikasie boom modelering moontlik is. Ons sal klassifikasie bome vergelyk met parametriese-, "kernel"- en "k-nearest-neighbour" diskriminant analise. 'n Neurale netwerk word ook vergelyk met klassifikasie bome en ten slote word daar gevolgtrekkings gemaak oor klassifikasie bome en hoe dit vergelyk met ander metodes.

Abstract:
The problem of accurately measuring the similarity between graphs is at the core of many applications in a variety of disciplines. Most existing methods for graph similarity focus either on local or on global properties of graphs. However, even if graphs seem very similar from a local or a global perspective, they may exhibit different structure at different scales. In this paper, we present a general framework for graph similarity which takes into account structure at multiple different scales. The proposed framework capitalizes on the well-known k-core decomposition of graphs in order to build a hierarchy of nested subgraphs. We apply the framework to derive variants of four graph kernels, namely graphlet kernel, shortest-path kernel, Weisfeiler-Lehman subtree kernel, and pyramid match graph kernel. The framework is not limited to graph kernels, but can be applied to any graph comparison algorithm. The proposed framework is evaluated on several benchmark datasets for graph classification. In most cases, the core-based kernels achieve significant improvements in terms of classification accuracy over the base kernels, while their time complexity remains very attractive.

Abstract:
Several real-world complex systems have graph-structured data, including social networks, biological networks, and knowledge graphs. A continuous increase in the quantity and quality of these graphs demands learning models to unlock the potential of this data and execute tasks, including node classification, graph classification, and link prediction. This tutorial presents machine learning on graphs, focusing on how representation learning - from traditional approaches (e.g., matrix factorization and random walks) to deep neural architectures - fosters carrying out those tasks. We also introduce representation learning over dynamic and knowledge graphs. Lastly, we discuss open problems, such as scalability and distributed network embedding systems.

Abstract:
The classification of graph-structured data has be-come increasingly crucial in many disciplines. It has been observed that the implicit or explicit hierarchical community structures preserved in real-world graphs could be useful for downstream classification applications. A straightforward way to leverage the hierarchical structure is to make use the pooling algorithms to cluster nodes into fixed groups, and shrink the input graph layer by layer to learn the pooled graphs.However, the pool shrinking discards the graph details to make it hard to distinguish two non-isomorphic graphs, and the fixed clustering ignores the inherent multiple characteristics of nodes. To compensate the shrinking loss and learn the various nodes’ characteristics, we propose the multi-channel graph neural networks (MuchGNN). Motivated by the underlying mechanisms developed in convolutional neural networks, we define the tailored graph convolutions to learn a series of graph channels at each layer, and shrink the graphs hierarchically to en-code the pooled structures. Experimental results on real-world datasets demonstrate the superiority of MuchGNN over the state-of-the-art methods.

Abstract:
We introduce a novel approach to graph-level representation learning, which is to embed an entire graph into a vector space where the embeddings of two graphs preserve their graph-graph proximity. Our approach, UGraphEmb, is a general framework that provides a novel means to performing graph-level embedding in a completely unsupervised and inductive manner. The learned neural network can be considered as a function that receives any graph as input, either seen or unseen in the training set, and transforms it into an embedding. A novel graph-level embedding generation mechanism called Multi-Scale Node Attention (MSNA), is proposed. Experiments on five real graph datasets show that UGraphEmb achieves competitive accuracy in the tasks of graph classification, similarity ranking, and graph visualization.

Abstract:
Self-supervised learning has gradually emerged as a powerful technique for graph representation learning. However, transferable, generalizable, and robust representation learning on graph data still remains a challenge for pre-training graph neural networks. In this paper, we propose a simple and effective self-supervised pre-training strategy, named Pairwise Half-graph Discrimination (PHD), that explicitly pre-trains a graph neural network at graph-level. PHD is designed as a simple binary classification task to discriminate whether two half-graphs come from the same source. Experiments demonstrate that the PHD is an effective pre-training strategy that offers comparable or superior performance on 13 graph classification tasks compared with state-of-the-art strategies, and achieves notable improvements when combined with node-level strategies. Moreover, the visualization of learned representation revealed that PHD strategy indeed empowers the model to learn graph-level knowledge like the molecular scaffold. These results have established PHD as a powerful and effective self-supervised learning strategy in graph-level representation learning.

Exploring mechanisms involved in grape bud dormancy: Large-scale analysis of expression reprogramming following controlled dormancy induction and dormancy release. United States Department of Agriculture, December 2002. http://dx.doi.org/10.32747/2002.7587232.bard.

Abstract:
The timing of dormancy induction and release is very important to the economic production of table grape. Advances in manipulation of dormancy induction and dormancy release are dependent on the establishment of a comprehensive understanding of biological mechanisms involved in bud dormancy. To gain insight into these mechanisms we initiated the research that had two main objectives: A. Analyzing the expression profiles of large subsets of genes, following controlled dormancy induction and dormancy release, and assessing the role of known metabolic pathways, known regulatory genes and novel sequences involved in these processes B. Comparing expression profiles following the perception of various artificial as well as natural signals known to induce dormancy release, and searching for gene showing similar expression patterns, as candidates for further study of pathways having potential to play a central role in dormancy release. We first created targeted EST collections from V. vinifera and V. riparia mature buds. Clones were randomly selected from cDNA libraries prepared following controlled dormancy release and controlled dormancy induction and from respective controls. The entire collection (7920 vinifera and 1194 riparia clones) was sequenced and subjected to bioinformatics analysis, including clustering, annotations and GO classifications. PCR products from the entire collection were used for printing of cDNA microarrays. Bud tissue in general, and the dormant bud in particular, are under-represented within the grape EST database. Accordingly, 59% of the our vinifera EST collection, composed of 5516 unigenes, are not included within the current Vitis TIGR collection and about 22% of these transcripts bear no resemblance to any known plant transcript, corroborating the current need for our targeted EST collection and the bud specific cDNA array. Analysis of the V. riparia sequences yielded 814 unigenes, of which 140 are unique (keilin et al., manuscript, Appendix B). Results from computational expression profiling of the vinifera collection suggest that oxidative stress, calcium signaling, intracellular vesicle trafficking and anaerobic mode of carbohydrate metabolism play a role in the regulation and execution of grape-bud dormancy release. A comprehensive analysis confirmed the induction of transcription from several calcium–signaling related genes following HC treatment, and detected an inhibiting effect of calcium channel blocker and calcium chelator on HC-induced and chilling-induced bud break. It also detected the existence of HC-induced and calcium dependent protein phosphorylation activity. These data suggest, for the first time, that calcium signaling is involved in the mechanism of dormancy release (Pang et al., in preparation). We compared the effects of heat shock (HS) to those detected in buds following HC application and found that HS lead to earlier and higher bud break. We also demonstrated similar temporary reduction in catalase expression and temporary induction of ascorbate peroxidase, glutathione reductase, thioredoxin and glutathione S transferase expression following both treatments. These findings further support the assumption that temporary oxidative stress is part of the mechanism leading to bud break. The temporary induction of sucrose syntase, pyruvate decarboxylase and alcohol dehydrogenase indicate that temporary respiratory stress is developed and suggest that mitochondrial function may be of central importance for that mechanism. These finding, suggesting triggering of identical mechanisms by HS and HC, justified the comparison of expression profiles of HC and HS treated buds, as a tool for the identification of pathways with a central role in dormancy release (Halaly et al., in preparation). RNA samples from buds treated with HS, HC and water were hybridized with the cDNA arrays in an interconnected loop design. Differentially expressed genes from the were selected using R-language package from Bioconductor project called LIMMA and clones showing a significant change following both HS and HC treatments, compared to control, were selected for further analysis. A total of 1541 clones show significant induction, of which 37% have no hit or unknown function and the rest represent 661 genes with identified function. Similarly, out of 1452 clones showing significant reduction, only 53% of the clones have identified function and they represent 573 genes. The 661 induced genes are involved in 445 different molecular functions. About 90% of those functions were classified to 20 categories based on careful survey of the literature. Among other things, it appears that carbohydrate metabolism and mitochondrial function may be of central importance in the mechanism of dormancy release and studies in this direction are ongoing. Analysis of the reduced function is ongoing (Appendix A). A second set of hybridizations was carried out with RNA samples from buds exposed to short photoperiod, leading to induction of bud dormancy, and long photoperiod treatment, as control. Analysis indicated that 42 genes were significant difference between LD and SD and 11 of these were unique.
