What is Statistical Learning from Relational Data about?

Much of the data in the world is relational in nature, involving multiple objects, related to each other in a variety of ways. Examples include both structured databases such as customer transaction data, semi-structured data such as hyperlinked pages on the world-wide web or networks of interacting genes, and unstructured data such as text. In this talk, I will describe a statistical framework for learning from relational data. The approach is based on probabilistic models, which have been applied with great success to a variety of machine learning tasks. Generally, this framework has been applied to data represented as fixed-length attribute-value vectors, or to sequence data. I will describe the language of probabilistic relational models (PRMs), which extend probabilistic graphical models with the expressive power of object-relational languages. PRMs model the uncertainty over the attributes of objects in the domain as well as uncertainty over the existence of relations between objects. I will present techniques for automatically learning PRMs directly from a relational data set, and applications of these techniques to various tasks, such as: collective classification of an ent
