Stochastic Relational Models (SRM)

 

 

·      Short Introduction: SRM is a Gaussian process model to predict the links between entities, based on entity attributes (if given) and some observed links.  In its simplest form, the model can be seen as learning from an partially observed relational matrix T, where T(i, j) means a relationship between entity Vi and entity Uj. After training, the model can predict the missing entries in this matrix T.
