Stanford Computer Forum 2021 Affiliates Meeting

Stanford Graph Learning Workshop

This workshop will bring together leaders from academia and industry to showcase recent methodological advances of Graph Neural Networks, a wide range of applications to different domains as well as machine learning frameworks and practical challenges for large-scale training and deployment of graph-based machine learning models.


Overview

Graphs are emerging as an abstraction to represent complex data, such as social networks, knowledge graphs, molecular graphs, biomedical networks, as well as for modeling 3D objects, manifolds, and source code. Machine learning, especially deep representation learning, on graphs is an emerging field with a wide array of applications from protein folding and fraud detection, to drug discovery and recommender systems.

In the Stanford Graph Learning Workshop, we will bring together leaders from academia and industry to showcase recent methodological advances of Graph Neural Networks. The workshop will present the leading graph machine learning framework and a wide range of graph machine learning applications to different domains. Additionally, the workshop will discuss practical challenges for large-scale training and deployment of graph-based machine learning models.

Registration

The Stanford Graph Learning Workshop will be held on Thursday, Sept 16 2021, 08:00 - 17:00 Pacific Time. The workshop will be part of the Stanford Computer Forum 2021 Affiliates Meeting.
