Machine learning has revolutionized many fields, including science, healthcare, and business. It is also widely used in network data analysis. This chapter provides an overview of machine learning methods and how they can be applied to network data. Machine learning can be used to clean, process, and analyze network data, as well as make predictions about networks and network attributes. Methods that transform networks into meaningful representations are especially useful for specific network prediction tasks, such as classifying nodes and predicting links. The challenges of using machine learning with network data include recognizing data leakage and detecting dataset shift. As with all machine learning, effective use of machine learning on networks depends on practicing good data hygiene when evaluating a predictive model’s performance.
