Users interacting with these sites constantly change the underlying data sets, which can be represented in graph-structured form. Nodes in these dynamic graph structures exhibit dependencies over time (for example, one node changes before other nodes change in the same way). Analysing these dependencies is crucial for understanding and predicting the dynamics inherent to temporally changing graph structures on the web. When the graphs become large however, it is not feasible to take into account all properties of the graph and in general it is unclear how to choose the appropriate features. Moreover, comparing two nodes becomes difficult, if the nodes do not share exactly the same features. In this work we propose an algorithm that automatically learns the features that govern temporal dependencies between nodes in large dynamic graph structures. We present preliminary results of applying the algorithm to data collected from the web, discuss potential extensions of the framework and anticipate how a major problem in machine learning, sparse data, could be tackled by leveraging Linked Data.", authorurls = "and and http://www.user.tu-berlin.de/felix.biessmann/ and http://www.aifb.kit.edu/web/Andreas\_Harth", pdf = "http://www.user.tu-berlin.de/felix.biessmann/pub/AAAI\_symposium.pdf", url = "http://www.aaai.org/Press/Reports/Symposia/Spring" }
