Neural RELAGGS
Lukas Pensel, Stefan Kramer
Multi-relational databases are the basis of most consolidated data collections in science and industry today. Most learning and mining algorithms, however, require data to be represented in a propositional form. While there is a variety of specialized machine learning algorithms that can operate directly on multi-relational data sets, propositionalization algorithms transform multi-relational databases into propositional data sets, thereby allowing the application of traditional machine learning and data mining algorithms without their modification. One prominent propositionalization algorithm is RELAGGS by Krogel and Wrobel, which transforms the data by nested aggregations. We propose a new neural network based algorithm in the spirit of RELAGGS that employs trainable composite aggregate functions instead of the static aggregate functions used in the original approach. In this way, we can jointly train the propositionalization with the prediction model, or, alternatively, use the learned aggegrations as embeddings in other algorithms. We demonstrate the increased predictive performance by comparing N-RELAGGS with RELAGGS and multiple other state-of-the-art algorithms.
