Abstract

The Science4cast 2021 competition focuses on predicting future edges in an evolving semantic network, where each vertex represents an artificial intelligence concept, and an edge between a pair of vertices denotes that the two concepts have been investigated together in a scientific paper. In this paper, we describe our solution to this competition. We present two distinct approaches: a tree-based gradient boosting approach and a deep learning approach, and demonstrate that both approaches achieve competitive performance. Our final solution, which is based on a blend of the two approaches, achieved the 1st place among all the participating teams.
