Effective Blending of Two and Three-way Interactions for Modeling Multi-relational Data

Much work has been recently proposed to model relational data, especially in the multi-relational case, where di↵erent kinds of relationships are used to connect the various data entities. Previous attempts either consist of powerful systems with high capacity to model complex connectivity patterns, which unfortunately usually end up overfitting on rare relationships, or in approaches that trade capacity for simplicity in order to fairly model all relationships, frequent or not. In this paper, we propose a happy medium obtained by complementing a high-capacity model with a simpler one, both pre-trained separately and jointly fine-tuned. We show that our approach outperforms existing models on different types of relationships, and achieves state-of-the-art results on two benchmarks of the literature.

Net2Vec: Deep Learning for the Network

We present Net2Vec, a flexible high-performance platform that allows the execution of deep learning algorithms in the communication network. Net2Vec is able to capture data from the network at more than 60Gbps, transform it into meaningful tuples and apply predictions over the tuples in real time. This platform can be used for different purposes ranging from traffic classification to network performance analysis. Finally, we showcase the use of Net2Vec by implementing and testing a solution able to profile network users at line rate using traces coming from a real network. We show that the use of deep learning for this case outperforms the baseline method both in terms of accuracy and performance.
