Presentation

Magnet is a new research group that aims to design new machine learning based methods geared towards mining information networks. Information networks are large collections of interconnected data and documents like citation networks and blog networks among others. We will then define new prediction methods for texts and networks of texts based on machine learning algorithms in graphs. Such algorithms include node and link classification, link prediction, clustering and probabilistic modeling of graphs. Envisioned applications include browsing, monitoring and recommender systems, and more broadly information extraction in information networks. Application domains cover social networks for cultural data and e-commerce, and biomedical informatics.
