Learning and Reasoning with Graph Data: Neural and Statistical-Relational Approaches (Invited Paper)

Authors: Manfred Jaeger

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 99, International Research School in Artificial Intelligence in Bergen (AIB 2022)


Abstract
Graph neural networks (GNNs) have emerged in recent years as a very powerful and popular modeling tool for graph and network data. Though much of the work on GNNs has focused on graphs with a single edge relation, they have also been adapted to multi-relational graphs, including knowledge graphs. In such multi-relational domains, the objectives and possible applications of GNNs become quite similar to what for many years has been investigated and developed in the field of statistical relational learning (SRL). This article first gives a brief overview of the main features of GNN and SRL approaches to learning and reasoning with graph data. It analyzes then in more detail their commonalities and differences with respect to semantics, representation, parameterization, interpretability, and flexibility. A particular focus will be on relational Bayesian networks (RBNs) as the SRL framework that is most closely related to GNNs. We show how common GNN architectures can be directly encoded as RBNs, thus enabling the direct integration of "low level" neural model components with the "high level" symbolic representation and flexible inference capabilities of SRL.

Importance Sampling on Relational Bayesian Networks

Authors: Manfred Jaeger

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 5051, Probabilistic, Logical and Relational Learning - Towards a Synthesis (2006)


Abstract
We present techniques for importance sampling from distributions defined by Relational Bayesian Networks. The methods operate directly on the abstract representation language, and therefore can be applied in situations where sampling from a standard Bayesian Network representation is infeasible. We describe experimental results from using standard, adaptive and backward sampling strategies. Furthermore, we use in our experiments a model that illustrates a fully general way of translating the recent framework of Markov Logic Networks into Relational Bayesian Networks.
