Data’s everywhere, but so often it feels… stuck. Joining us today is Jure
Leskovec, Chief Scientist at Kumo and a Stanford Professor who's
fundamentally reshaped how we understand networks—from Pinterest's

structured data is lagging behind the AI revolution, exploring how
techniques like Graph Neural Networks are finally unlocking its potential,
and how this all plays out in real-world applications
