“Making Sense of (Multi-) Relational Data”
Tutorial at ECML-PKDD 2015.
11 September 2015, Porto, Portugal
The slides are now available: part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4, part 5, part 6.
Outline:
PART I: Mining relational data — an overview (40 mins)
- Data types: Codd’s relational data model, triple stores (linked data), networks, n-ary relations
- Pattern syntax
- Algorithmic approach (e.g. exhaustive enumeration or not)
- `Supervised’ or not, or in between
- Interestingness measures
PART II: Exploration through targeted modelling (20 mins)
- Safarii
- RDB-Krimp
- (Probabilistic) ILP
PART III: Exploration by descriptive modelling – semi-relational local algorithms (20 mins)
- Frequent itemset mining on the join
- SMuRFIG
— BREAK
PART IV: Exploration by descriptive modeling – fully-relational local algorithms (40 mins)
- N-set mining
- RMiner \& variants
- Constraint programming for closed relational sets
- Uncovering the plot
PART V: Exploration by descriptive modeling – fully-relational global algorithms (40 mins)
- Joint matrix-tensor factorisations
PART VI: Perspectives (20 mins)
- General conclusions and recommendations
- Open problems and opportunities
