Abstract
Graph summarization is a useful tool for analyzing large-scale graphs. Some works tried to preserve original node embeddings encoding rich structural information of nodes on the summary graph. However, their algorithms are designed heuristically and not theoretically guaranteed. In this paper, we theoretically study the problem of preserving node embeddings on summary graph. We prove that three matrix-factorization based node embedding methods of the original graph can be approximated by that of the summary graph, and propose a novel graph summarization method, named HCSumm, based on this analysis. Extensive experiments are performed on real-world datasets to evaluate the effectiveness of our proposed method. The experimental results show that our method outperforms the state-of-the-art methods in preserving node embeddings.
期刊介绍:
TKDD welcomes papers on a full range of research in the knowledge discovery and analysis of diverse forms of data. Such subjects include, but are not limited to: scalable and effective algorithms for data mining and big data analysis, mining brain networks, mining data streams, mining multi-media data, mining high-dimensional data, mining text, Web, and semi-structured data, mining spatial and temporal data, data mining for community generation, social network analysis, and graph structured data, security and privacy issues in data mining, visual, interactive and online data mining, pre-processing and post-processing for data mining, robust and scalable statistical methods, data mining languages, foundations of data mining, KDD framework and process, and novel applications and infrastructures exploiting data mining technology including massively parallel processing and cloud computing platforms. TKDD encourages papers that explore the above subjects in the context of large distributed networks of computers, parallel or multiprocessing computers, or new data devices. TKDD also encourages papers that describe emerging data mining applications that cannot be satisfied by the current data mining technology.
