McGill Computer Networks Research Lab

February 8-15, 2019

This workshop brought together leading international researchers who are developing and using machine learning and statistical signal processing methods to analyze data recorded on graphs and networks. The workshop consisted of research presentations and several tutorials. We discussed open problems and forged research collaborations, identifying promising future directions for graph data analysis. The event was held at McGill's beautiful Bellairs Research Institute in Holetown, Saint James Parish, Barbados.
