Do higher-order network structures aid graph semi-supervised learning? Given a graph and a few labeled vertices, labeling the remaining vertices is a high-impact problem with applications in several tasks, such as recommender systems, fraud detection and protein identification. However, traditional methods rely on edges for spreading labels, which is limited as all edges are not equal. Vertices with stronger connections participate in higher-order structures in graphs, which calls for methods that can leverage these structures in the semi-supervised learning tasks. To this end, we propose Higher-Order Label Spreading (HOLS) to spread labels using higher-order structures. HOLS has strong theoretical guarantees and reduces to standard label spreading in the base case. Via extensive experiments, we show that higher-order label spreading using triangles in addition to edges is up to 4.7% better than label spreading using edges alone. Compared to prior traditional and state-of-the-art methods, the proposed method leads to statistically significant accuracy gains in all-but-one cases, while remaining fast and scalable to large graphs.

The issue of opinion sharing and formation has received considerable attention in the academic literature, and a few models have been proposed to study this problem. However, existing models are limited to the interactions among nearest neighbors, ig noring those second, third, and higher-order neighbors, despite the fact that higher-order interactions occur frequently in real social networks. In this paper, we develop a new model for opinion dynamics by incorporating long-range interactions based on higher-order random walks. We prove that the model converges to a fixed opinion vector, which may differ greatly from those models without higher-order interactions. Since direct computation of the equilibrium opinion is computationally expensive, which involves the operations of huge-scale matrix multiplication and inversion, we design a theoretically convergence-guaranteed estimation algorithm that approximates the equilibrium opinion vector nearly linearly in both space and time with respect to the number of edges in the graph. We conduct extensive experiments on various social networks, demonstrating that the new algorithm is both highly efficient and effective.
Graph models have long been used in lieu of real data which can be expensive and hard to come by. A common class of models constructs a matrix of probabilities, and samples an adjacency matrix by flipping a weighted coin for each entry. Examples incl ude the ErdH{o}s-R{e}nyi model, Chung-Lu model, and the Kronecker model. Here we present the HyperKron Graph model: an extension of the Kronecker Model, but with a distribution over hyperedges. We prove that we can efficiently generate graphs from this model in order proportional to the number of edges times a small log-factor, and find that in practice the runtime is linear with respect to the number of edges. We illustrate a number of useful features of the HyperKron model including non-trivial clustering and highly skewed degree distributions. Finally, we fit the HyperKron model to real-world networks, and demonstrate the models flexibility with a complex application of the HyperKron model to networks with coherent feed-forward loops.

Clustering is an important topic in algorithms, and has a number of applications in machine learning, computer vision, statistics, and several other research disciplines. Traditional objectives of graph clustering are to find clusters with low conduc tance. Not only are these objectives just applicable for undirected graphs, they are also incapable to take the relationships between clusters into account, which could be crucial for many applications. To overcome these downsides, we study directed graphs (digraphs) whose clusters exhibit further structural information amongst each other. Based on the Hermitian matrix representation of digraphs, we present a nearly-linear time algorithm for digraph clustering, and further show that our proposed algorithm can be implemented in sublinear time under reasonable assumptions. The significance of our theoretical work is demonstrated by extensive experimental results on the UN Comtrade Dataset: the output clustering of our algorithm exhibits not only how the clusters (sets of countries) relate to each other with respect to their import and export records, but also how these clusters evolve over time, in accordance with known facts in international trade.
The present paper is devoted to clustering geometric graphs. While the standard spectral clustering is often not effective for geometric graphs, we present an effective generalization, which we call higher-order spectral clustering. It resembles in c oncept the classical spectral clustering method but uses for partitioning the eigenvector associated with a higher-order eigenvalue. We establish the weak consistency of this algorithm for a wide class of geometric graphs which we call Soft Geometric Block Model. A small adjustment of the algorithm provides strong consistency. We also show that our method is effective in numerical experiments even for graphs of modest size.
Given a graph G where each node is associated with a set of attributes, and a parameter k specifying the number of output clusters, k-attributed graph clustering (k-AGC) groups nodes in G into k disjoint clusters, such that nodes within the same clus ter share similar topological and attribute characteristics, while those in different clusters are dissimilar. This problem is challenging on massive graphs, e.g., with millions of nodes and billions of edges. For such graphs, existing solutions either incur prohibitively high costs, or produce clustering results with compromised quality. In this paper, we propose ACMin, an effective approach to k-AGC that yields high-quality clusters with cost linear to the size of the input graph G. The main contributions of ACMin are twofold: (i) a novel formulation of the k-AGC problem based on an attributed multi-hop conductance quality measure custom-made for this problem setting, which effectively captures cluster coherence in terms of both topological proximities and attribute similarities, and (ii) a linear-time optimization solver that obtains high-quality clusters iteratively, based on efficient matrix operations such as orthogonal iterations, an alternative optimization approach, as well as an initialization technique that significantly speeds up the convergence of ACMin in practice. Extensive experiments, comparing 11 competitors on 6 real datasets, demonstrate that ACMin consistently outperforms all competitors in terms of result quality measured against ground-truth labels, while being up to orders of magnitude faster. In particular, on the Microsoft Academic Knowledge Graph dataset with 265.2 million edges and 1.1 billion attribute values, ACMin outputs high-quality results for 5-AGC within 1.68 hours using a single CPU core, while none of the 11 competitors finish within 3 days.
