Related Research: InterConnect
Graph neural networks and topological data analysis provide strong potential for gaining deeper insights into global patterns in graph-structured data, utilizing a combination of ML, combinatorics, geometry, algebra, and statistics techniques. Studying these networks’ connectivity provides insights into information flow, social dynamics, disease spread, traffic optimization, network resilience, and much more.
Closely related to the concerns of the Learning on Graphs conference, the new MDSI focus topic InterConnect: Interdisciplinary Research on Graphs, Networks, and Connectivity Structures tackles similar topics. If you are interested, please take a look at the focus topic!
