Tutorial 1: Network Mining and Analysis for Social Applications

Lecturer: Feida Zhu

Date: November 1, 2014, 13:20 – 15:20

Room: East Asia Hall, B/F

Abstract:

The recent blossom of social network and communication services in both public and corporate settings have generated a staggering amount of network data of all kinds. Unlike the bio-networks and the chemical compound graph data often used in traditional network mining and analysis, the new network data grown out of these social applications are characterized by their rich attributes, high heterogeneity, enormous sizes and complex patterns of various semantic meanings, all of which have posed significant research challenges to the graph/network mining community. In this tutorial, we aim to examine some recent advances in network mining and analysis for social applications, covering a di- verse collection of methodologies and applications from the perspectives of network patterns, relationship mining and identity linkage. We would present the problem setting, the research challenges, the recent research advances and some future directions for each perspective.

Bio:

Feida Zhu is an assistant professor at the School of Information Systems of SingaporeManagement University (SMU). He has founded and managed as Academic Director the Pinnacle Lab a joint lab with China Ping An Insurance Group to focus on social media mining and analysis for finance innovation. He obtained his Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) in 2009. His current research interests include large-scale data mining, graph/network mining and social network analysis. His research on large-scale frequent pattern mining has won the Best Student Paper Awards at 2007 IEEE International Conference on Data Engineering (ICDE) and 2007 Pacific- Asia Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining (PAKDD)

Tutorial 2: Harvesting, Integrating, Maintaining and Leveraging Knowledge Graphs

Lecturer: Seung-won Hwang

Date: November 1, 2014, 15:40 – 17:40

Room: East Asia Hall, B/F

Abstract:

Knowledge graphs have served as an integral component of modern search engines and software in general. However, it is non-trivial to harvest, cleanse, and integrate web-scale knowledge graphs, which has been actively studied in diverse fields of computer science. This two-hour tutorial will cover recent work on broad issues of harvesting, integrating, maintain, and leveraging knowledge graphs.

Bio:

Seung-won Hwang is an associate professor of computer science and engineering in POSTECH, Korea. Her recent research projects have been integrating multiple knowledge graphs for data-driven understanding of entities. Her recent findings have been published at database and NLP venues, including ACL, TKDE, TOIS, TODS, SIGMOD, VLDB, and ICDE.
