**TLDR:** A task aimed at predicting edges that are not currently present in a graph but are likely to exist.

<p>Link prediction is one of the most important tasks in graph learning and aims to infer missing or future relationships. Social recommendations, knowledge graph completion, drug-target interaction modeling, and fraud-network analysis are all examples of this task. GNNs can model these relationships more effectively through learned node representations. The semantic content of graph structure plays a decisive role here.</p>
