Multilevel framework to improve accuracy and/or runtime of several network alignment algorithms. Great work during your time at @Livermore_Comp Jing! arxiv.org/pdf/2208.10682…

A great combination of theoretical analysis, examination of intuition from other domains, empirical insights, and new benchmarks for graph contrastive learning—all in one paper. Outstanding work led by Puja!

2. We take a deep look into graph contrastive learning and find that data-centric properties known to be crucial to the success of visual CL can fail to hold for graph CL. Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2208.02810 @puja_computes @lastgoodcaesar @EkdeepL @danaikoutra

@d_metaxa Hey, just wanted to say, as another early career CS researcher and powerlifter (also newbie climber!), you might enjoy Collective Strength. They have competition-grade PL equipment and an admirable ethos collectivestrengthphl.com

@rjurney Closest thing I know of is a new conference at the end of this year that's devoted to machine learning on graphs: #hero" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">logconference.org/#hero

I want to attend a motif and graphlet machine learning conference - has there ever been such a thing?

@luchengSRAI @fredmorstatter @hjagadish @liuhuan @Ilsebyl Our fourth tutorial is held by Mark Andrew Heimann, Junchen Jin and Danai Koutra (@danaikoutra). The tutorial is about +++ Network Embedding for Role Discovery: Concepts, Tools, and Applications +++. Link: markheimann.github.io/tutorials/Netw…

@rtcraig3 To be precise, this is the highest form of grad school

Just submitted a paper between squat sets, is this grad school yet?

To appear in TKDD!

Thanks @tangjiliang for sharing this interesting and thought-provoking work. In light of these new findings, we revisit the problem of heterophily for GNNs and discuss the reasons behind the seemingly different takeaways from different works. Check it out: jiongzhu.net/revisiting-het…

@QuestionofWhy I might also need to go to an actual barber for the first time in like 2 years lol

@SarahJabbour_ Congrats, and glad to hear the weights are such a great outlet during your PhD :) I don't know how to do cool barbell movements but otherwise I relate

@ElissaWelle I went through this too. So glad you're a) talking about it, and b) supporting others in similar places. And also glad you did stick around and produce some amazing work :)

@rtcraig3 what a legend to have one's name be sandwiched between Aquinas and Kierkegaard

citations: Nathan Cartagena, Thomas Aquinas, Andrew Maxwell, and Kierkegaard

The goal of cultural engagement should be to turn philosophical water into theological wine, but instead we turn theological wine into culture-wars water; and often poisonous water at that.

@benrozemberczki @InfAtEd @GiulioRossetti @RikSarkarNet @EdiDataScience Congrats! You made a really nice body of research contributions and definitely deserved a smooth viva

@vagelispapalex @UCR_CSE @UCRBCOE @UCRiverside Congratulations!!

Super excited to let the world know that, as of July 1, I will be an Associate Professor with tenure at @UCR_CSE @UCRBCOE! Extremely grateful to everyone who has contributed to this, first and foremost my students, my collaborators, and mentors inside and outside of @UCRiverside

@abuyukcakir There are so many worthwhile paths to take in life with or without a PhD. I look forward to seeing which of them you'll take next! The potential is truly unbounded

Dear fellas, it is official now. I will be discontinued from my PhD program at the U of Michigan Ann Arbor as of August 29. It was a pleasure getting to know all of you. It was definitely weird times during my stay in the US with elections, BLM, Covid and GME pump-and-dump lol.

@abuyukcakir Lol that guitar is yours to keep if you like! If not, of course it's a great idea to have it circle around the GEMS Lab a while longer (I hadn't even considered this but I love this idea too)

Ummm closing comments... I will probably give @lastgoodcaesar's acoustic guitar to another member of GEMS Lab. Mark you are such a complex character man, a chess grandmaster and a deadlifter? Come on. Be mediocre at something. I will miss you too.

@michmer4 Congrats!

I'm grateful for this opportunity and all the people who have contributed to the work! Looking forward to the best year yet 🥳

@JingZhu85095487 @DMthechemist In my brain, sooner or later every thought turns to food 😂

@lastgoodcaesar @DMthechemist Haha, that's a good metaphor 😃

arxiv.org/abs/2102.13582 Use node proximities to learn embeddings modeling node proximity OR structural roles. Kind of like using 🍕dough to make 🍕OR cinnamon rolls. @JingZhu85095487 did an outstanding job on this project and will present it today at #SDM2021

@graph_ Nevertheless, congratulations on the defense of an impressive body of work for your PhD, Dr. Anton (oops, look what I did there, silly American that's me)

The most annoying thing about German doctoral system is that I can not call myself Dr. Anton after the defence, it's only officially allowed after the library submission. Who needed to ruin the fun!?
