RecSys 2021 RecSys 2021 Keynote: Graph Neural Networks for Knowledge Representation and Recommendation, by Max Welling

Abstract: Graph Neural Networks have gained enormous popularity in recent years and found widespread application in, among others, physics and chemistry, computer vision, simulation, healthcare, wireless communication, logistics, natural language processing, causality, knowledge representation and recommendation. In this talk I will give a brief introduction on graph neural networks and their relation to deep learning. I will also discuss how to incorporate symmetries in GNNs and discuss a number of applications on which I have worked. In the last part of the talk I will discuss in a little bit more detail how GNNs can be applied to KR, IR and recommender systems.
