      Abstract: Numerous works have been proposed to generate random graphs preserving the same properties as real-life large-scale networks. However, many real networks are better represented by hypergraphs. Few models for generating random hypergraphs exist, and also, just a few models allow to both preserve a power-law degree distribution and a high modularity indicating the presence of communities. We present a dynamic preferential attachment hypergraph model which features partition into communities. We prove that its degree distribution follows a power-law, and we give theoretical lower bounds for its modularity. We compare its characteristics with a real-life co-authorship network and show that our model achieves good performances. We believe that our hypergraph model will be an interesting tool that may be used in many research domains in order to reflect better real-life phenomena.

      Abstract: Graph embedding is a transformation of nodes of a network into a set of vectors. A good embedding should capture the underlying graph topology and structure, node-to-node relationship, and other relevant information about the graph, its subgraphs, and nodes themselves. If these objectives are achieved, an embedding is a meaningful, understandable, and often compressed representation of a network. Unfortunately, selecting the best embedding is a challenging task and very often requires domain experts. In this paper, we extend the framework for evaluating graph embeddings that was recently introduced in [15]. Now, the framework assigns two scores, local and global, to each embedding that measure the quality of an evaluated embedding for tasks that require good representation of local and, respectively, global properties of the network. The best embedding, if needed, can be selected in an unsupervised way, or the framework can identify a few embeddings that are worth further investigation. The framework is flexible and scalable and can deal with undirected/directed and weighted/unweighted graphs.

  • Random networks grown by fusing edges via urns

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Authors: Bhutani; Kiran R., Kalpathy, Ravi, Mahmoud, Hosam
      Pages: 347 - 360
      Abstract: Many classic networks grow by hooking small components via vertices. We introduce a class of networks that grows by fusing the edges of a small graph to an edge chosen uniformly at random from the network. For this random edge-hooking network, we study the local degree profile, that is, the evolution of the average degree of a vertex over time. For a special subclass, we further determine the exact distribution and an asymptotic gamma-type distribution. We also study the “core,” which consists of the well-anchored edges that experience fusing. A central limit theorem emerges for the size of the core.At the end, we look at an alternative model of randomness attained by preferential hooking, favoring edges that experience more fusing. Under preferential hooking, the core still follows a Gaussian law but with different parameters. Throughout, Pólya urns are systematically used as a method of proof.

      Abstract: Hyperbolic random graphs (HRGs) and geometric inhomogeneous random graphs (GIRGs) are two similar generative network models that were designed to resemble complex real-world networks. In particular, they have a power-law degree distribution with controllable exponent and high clustering that can be controlled via the temperature .We present the first implementation of an efficient GIRG generator running in expected linear time. Besides varying temperatures, it also supports underlying geometries of higher dimensions. It is capable of generating graphs with ten million edges in under a second on commodity hardware. The algorithm can be adapted to HRGs. Our resulting implementation is the fastest sequential HRG generator, despite the fact that we support non-zero temperatures. Though non-zero temperatures are crucial for many applications, most existing generators are restricted to . We also support parallelization, although this is not the focus of this paper. Moreover, we note that our generators draw from the correct probability distribution, that is, they involve no approximation.Besides the generators themselves, we also provide an efficient algorithm to determine the non-trivial dependency between the average degree of the resulting graph and the input parameters of the GIRG model. This makes it possible to specify the desired expected average degree as input.Moreover, we investigate the differences between HRGs and GIRGs, shedding new light on the nature of the relation between the two models. Although HRGs represent, in a certain sense, a special case of the GIRG model, we find that a straightforward inclusion does not hold in practice. However, the difference is negligible for most use cases.

  • Toward random walk-based clustering of variable-order networks

      Pages: 381 - 399
      Abstract: Higher-order networks aim at improving the classical network representation of trajectories data as memory-less order Markov models. To do so, locations are associated with different representations or “memory nodes” representing indirect dependencies between visited places as direct relations. One promising area of investigation in this context is variable-order network models as it was suggested by Xu et al. that random walk-based mining tools can be directly applied on such networks. In this paper, we focus on clustering algorithms and show that doing so leads to biases due to the number of nodes representing each location. To address them, we introduce a representation aggregation algorithm that produces smaller yet still accurate network models of the input sequences. We empirically compare the clustering found with multiple network representations of real-world mobility datasets. As our model is limited to a maximum order of , we discuss further generalizations of our method to higher orders.
