About Lecture: With the rapid development of machine learning and deep learning models, there is increasing interest in applying these AI methods to graph computational problems. In this talk, we will introduce some representative work, including some of our recent works, for several algorithmic problem on graph data, such as shortest path queries, subgraph matching, subgraph counting, and querying noisy graphs. We will also outline other promising problems where AI methods may help and list open problems.
