  • QUOTE: The usual process to work on graphs with machine learning is first to generate a meaningful representation for your items of interest (nodes, edges, or full graphs depending on your task), then to use these to train a predictor for your target task. We want (as in other modalities) to constrain the mathematical representations of your objects so that similar objects are mathematically close. However, this similarity is hard to define strictly in graph ML: for example, are two nodes more similar when they have the same labels or the same neighbours?
