GitHub is announcing its Copilot X initiative today, an extension of its work on its popular Copilot code completion tool, which originally launched into preview all the way back in 2021. With this, the Microsoft-owned company is launching a code-centric…
打破拓扑结构的天花板，深入探究属性图上表示学习的研究蓝海
作者：社会计算组 图是一种通用的数据表示形式，来自不同领域的数据均可以表示为图，例如文本数据可以看成是一维图，图像可以看成是二维图，分子和蛋白质等实体也可以天然地的用图表示。通俗而言：万物皆可图。 而图表示学习（Graph Representation Learning，GRL）能够将图中的节点或者整个图转化为低维可计算的向量，为机器学习模型处理图这种高维复杂的数据形式提供了合适的计算接口。根据粗...
