Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The lectures in this course will be given on-site and streamed via BigBlueButton. Exercise sessions will be on-site only and attending them is mandatory. The midterm and final exams will be on-site.

Important: Attendance in the first lecture on Tuesday 3.10. at 3 pm is mandatory. Due to the expected high number of participants, you can join online.

The lecture covers essential topics in data mining and machine learning with graphs and focuses on recent research on the following topics:
1. Graph kernels
2. Graph neural Networks
3. Centrality measures
4. Diffusion processes on graphs
5. Knowledge graphs and time evolving graphs

Subject-specific goals:
- Understanding the characteristics of graph data
- Methods and techniques for mining and learning with graphs
- Analysis and interpretation of graph-structured scientific data

Generic goals:
- Teamwork
- Improvement of programming skills
- Understanding of interplay in data mining, machine learning and other disciplines

Assessment and permitted materials

Active participation
Exercise sheets (individual work)
Programming assignments (group work)
Midterm and final exam (individual work)

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

A mandatory prerequisite for this class is the successful completion of FDA (052300 VU Foundations of Data Analysis) or an equivalent lecture. Experience in programming in Python is expected.

Components:
