Questions
-
Create a task-independent representation of network + features
-
What is the dependency between network structure and feature structure
-
Plot the cost of compressing network + features down to a given dimension n
network—feature dependencies
network—feature independence
Use deep learning to create embeddings
A framework
Graph convolutional neural networks + Auto-encoders
How is this framework useful
Speculative questions we want to ask
Application and scaling
With great datasets come great computing headaches
Graph-convolutional neural networks
H(l+1)=σ(H(l)W(l))
H(0)=X
H(L)=Z
H(l+1)=σ(D~−21A~D~−21H(l)W(l))
H(0)=X
H(L)=Z
A~=A+I
D~ii=∑jA~ij

Semi-supervised graph-convolution learning
Four well-marked communities of size 10, small noise
More semi-supervised GCN netflix
Overlapping communities of size 12, small noise
Two feature communities in a near-clique, small noise
Five well-marked communities of size 20, moderate noise
(Variational) Auto-encoders
From blog.keras.io
- Bottleneck compression → creates embeddings
- Flexible training objectives
- Free encoder/decoder architectures

Explore the dependency between network structure and feature structure
Cost of compressing network + features down to a given dimension n
Task-independent representation of network + features with uncertainty
Continuous change from feature communities to network communities

Walk on triangles — p=100, q=100
Walk out — p=1, q=.01
