Presentation

How answering complex queries in Graph Structured Data makes Big Data management simpler. Relational learning in graphs has focused on answering simple link prediction queries. That is, exploiting similar examples for predicting connections. In this talk we address predicting answers to conjunctive queries. For example, querying for patients with conjunctive constrains such as a specific blood type, symptoms and pre-existing conditions from a hospital knowledge base given that some of this data is missing. We present a method that embeds conjunctive queries with models that capture interactions among all the elements of a query graph. The challenge is to obtain reliable data, with minimum errors which allow for evaluating varieties of queries and this is where standards really help.
