Link Prediction with Embeddings
Link prediction is a core task in graph-based machine learning where you try to predict which edges are missing or likely to form in a graph. This is useful in social networks for friend recommendations, in biological networks for discovering unknown interactions, and in knowledge graphs for inferring new relationships. The key idea is to use node embeddings—vector representations of nodes that capture structural and semantic information—to measure the likelihood of an edge existing between two nodes.
By representing each node as a vector, you can use a similarity function to score how likely it is that two nodes should be connected. If two node embeddings are very similar, it suggests that the nodes are related in the graph, even if there is not currently an edge connecting them. The higher the similarity score, the more likely it is that an edge should exist between the nodes. Common similarity functions include the dot product, cosine similarity, and L2 distance (negative Euclidean distance).

1. What does a high similarity score between two node embeddings suggest in link prediction?
2. Which scoring function is commonly used for link prediction with embeddings?

Can you explain how the dot product measures similarity between node embeddings?
What are some other similarity functions I could use for link prediction?
How would I interpret the negative and positive similarity scores in this context?
Genial!
