Chapter Chapter 2 in Representation Learning, 2021, pp 17-53 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter provides an introduction to standard machine learning approaches that learn from tabular data representations, followed by an outline of approaches using various other data types addressed in this monograph: texts, relational databases, and networks (graphs, knowledge graphs, and ontologies). We first briefly sketch the historical outline of the research area, establish the basic terminology, and categorize learning tasks in Sect. 2.1. Section 2.2 provides a short introduction to text mining. Section 2.3 introduces relational learning techniques, followed by a brief introduction to network analysis, including semantic data mining, in Sect. 2.4. The means for evaluating the performance of machine learning algorithms, when used for prediction and rule quality estimation, are outlined in Sect. 2.5. We outline selected data mining techniques and platforms in Sect. 2.6. Finally, Sect. 2.7 presents the implemented software that allows for running selected methods on illustrative examples.
