Canonical Tasks
A number of canonical tasks are associated with statistical relational learning, the most common ones being
- collective classification, i.e. the (simultaneous) prediction of the class of several objects given objects' attributes and their relations
- link prediction, i.e. predicting whether or not two or more objects are related
- link-based clustering, i.e. the grouping of similar objects, where similarity is determined according to the links of an object, and the related task of collaborative filtering, i.e. the filtering for information that is relevant to an entity (where a piece of information is considered relevant to an entity if it is known to be relevant to a similar entity).
- social network modelling
- object identification/entity resolution/record linkage, i.e. the identification of equivalent entries in two or more separate databases/datasets

Famous quotes containing the words canonical and/or tasks:
“If God bestowed immortality on every man then when he made him, and he made many to whom he never purposed to give his saving grace, what did his Lordship think that God gave any man immortality with purpose only to make him capable of immortal torments? It is a hard saying, and I think cannot piously be believed. I am sure it can never be proved by the canonical Scripture.”
—Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)
“We are all adult learners. Most of us have learned a good deal more out of school than in it. We have learned from our families, our work, our friends. We have learned from problems resolved and tasks achieved but also from mistakes confronted and illusions unmasked. . . . Some of what we have learned is trivial: some has changed our lives forever.”
—Laurent A. Daloz (20th century)
