Column Networks for Collective Classification

Understand

Relational learning deals with data that are characterized by relational structures.

• An important task is collective classification, which is to jointly classify networked objects.
• While it holds a great promise to produce a better accuracy than non-collective classifiers, collective classification is computational challenging and has not leveraged on the recent breakthroughs of deep learning.
• We present Column Network (CLN), a novel deep learning model for collective classification in multi-relational domains.
