Gravity-Inspired Graph Autoencoders for Directed Link Prediction
Graph autoencoders (AE) and variational autoencoders (VAE) recently emerged
as powerful node embedding methods. In particular, graph AE and VAE were
successfully leveraged to tackle the challenging link prediction problem,
aiming at figuring out whether some pairs of nodes from a graph are connected
by unobserved edges. However, these models focus on undirected graphs and
therefore ignore the potential direction of the link, which is limiting for
numerous real-life applications. In this paper, we extend the graph AE and VAE
frameworks to address link prediction in directed graphs. We present a new
gravity-inspired decoder scheme that can effectively reconstruct directed
graphs from a node embedding. We empirically evaluate our method on three
different directed link prediction tasks, for which standard graph AE and VAE
perform poorly. We achieve competitive results on three real-world graphs,
outperforming several popular baselines.Comment: ACM International Conference on Information and Knowledge Management

A Very Brief Introduction to Machine Learning With Applications to Communication Systems
Given the unprecedented availability of data and computing resources, there
is widespread renewed interest in applying data-driven machine learning methods
to problems for which the development of conventional engineering solutions is
challenged by modelling or algorithmic deficiencies. This tutorial-style paper
starts by addressing the questions of why and when such techniques can be
useful. It then provides a high-level introduction to the basics of supervised
and unsupervised learning. For both supervised and unsupervised learning,
exemplifying applications to communication networks are discussed by
distinguishing tasks carried out at the edge and at the cloud segments of the
network at different layers of the protocol stack
