The First Workshop on Graph Learning and Applications

Learning is one of the fundamental activities of lives. Recent development of advanced tools such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) is promising to help human society learn "good" information from high volume of data that may be difficult or impossible for a human to find. Focusing on graphs, this workshop studies how to learn graphs (in the broad aspect) and apply those algorithms to various tasks. It will motivate further collaboration toward better understanding on graph learning and its applications.
