Graph Edge Prediction Algorithm

A Graph Edge Prediction Algorithm is a multi-class classification algorithm that can be implemented into a graph edge prediction system (to solve a graph edge prediction task).

• AKA: Link Prediction Algorithm.
• Context:
  • It can range from being a Heuristic Link Prediction Algorithm to being a Data-Driven Link Prediction Algorithm (such as a supervised link prediction algorithm).
• Example(s):
  • Social Network Link Prediction Algorithm.
  • Text Graph Link Prediction Algorithm.
  • a Taxonomy Mapping Algorithm.
  • …
• Counter-Example(s):
  • Node Classification Algorithm.
