报告摘要：
Graphs provide a universal representation of data with numerous types while deep learning has demonstrated immense ability in representation learning. Thus, bridging deep learning with graphs presents astounding opportunities to enable general solutions for a variety of real-world problems. However, traditional deep learning techniques that were disruptive for regular grid data such as images and sequences are not immediately applicable to graph-structured data. Therefore, marrying these two areas faces tremendous challenges. In this talk, I will first discuss these opportunities and challenges, then share a series of researches about deep learning on graphs from my group and finally discuss about promising research directions.
