A Theoretical Analysis of DeepWalk and Node2vec for Exact Recovery of Community Structures in Stochastic Blockmodels

IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON PATTERN ANALYSIS AND MACHINE INTELLIGENCE, 46(2), 1065–1078.

By: Y. Zhang n & M. Tang n

author keywords: Stochastic blockmodel; network embedding; perfect community recovery; node2vec; DeepWalk; matrix factorization
TL;DR: These results guarantee that with large enough window size and vertex number, applying the matrix factorization-based node2vec embeddings can correctly recover the memberships of all vertices in a network generated from the stochastic blockmodel (or its degree-corrected variants).

Hypothesis testing for equality of latent positions in random graphs

BERNOULLI, 29(4), 3221–3254.

By: X. Du n & M. Tang n

author keywords: Asymptotic normality; generalized random dot product graphs; model selection; spectral embedding; stochastic block models
TL;DR: This work considers the hypothesis testing problem that two vertices of a generalized random dot product graph have the same latent positions, possibly up to scaling, and proposes several test statistics based on the empirical Mahalanobis distances between the adjacency or the normalized Laplacian spectral embedding of the graph.

A statistical interpretation of spectral embedding: The generalised random dot product graph

Rubin-Delanchy, P., Cape, J., Tang, M., & Priebe, C. E. (2022, June 3). JOURNAL OF THE ROYAL STATISTICAL SOCIETY SERIES B-STATISTICAL METHODOLOGY.

author keywords: graph embedding; networks; spectral clustering; stochastic block model
TL;DR: A generalisation of the latent position network model known as the random dot product graph is proposed, to allow interpretation of those vector representations as latent position estimates, and the potential to uncover richer latent structure is uncovered. (via Semantic Scholar)

2022 journal article

Asymptotically efficient estimators for stochastic blockmodels: The naive MLE, the rank-constrained MLE, and the spectral estimator

BERNOULLI, 28(2), 1049–1073.

By: M. Tang n, J. Cape* & C. Priebe*

author keywords: Asymptotic efficiency; random dot product graph; stochastic blockmodels; asymptotic normality; spectral embedding
TL;DR: The results indicate, in the context of stochastic blockmodel graphs, that spectral embedding is not just computationally tractable, but that the resulting estimates are also admissible, even when compared to the purportedly optimal but computationally intractable maximum likelihood estimation under no rank assumption.

Numerical Tolerance for Spectral Decompositions of Random Matrices and Applications to Network Inference

Athreya, A., Lubberts, Z., Priebe, C. E., Park, Y., Tang, M., Lyzinski, V., … Lewis, B. W. (2022, July 18). JOURNAL OF COMPUTATIONAL AND GRAPHICAL STATISTICS.

By: A. Athreya*, Z. Lubberts*, C. Priebe*, Y. Park*, M. Tang n, V. Lyzinski*, M. Kane*, B. Lewis

author keywords: Optimal termination; Spectral decomposition; Statistical error
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that terminating an eigendecomposition algorithm when the numerical error and statistical error are of the same order results in computational savings with no loss of accuracy. (via Semantic Scholar)

Popularity Adjusted Block Models are Generalized Random Dot Product Graphs

Koo, J., Tang, M., & Trosset, M. W. (2022, June 25). JOURNAL OF COMPUTATIONAL AND GRAPHICAL STATISTICS.

By: J. Koo*, M. Tang n & M. Trosset*

author keywords: Block models; Community detection; Generalized random dot product graphs; Network analysis; Sparse subspace clustering
TL;DR: This work connects two random graph models by demonstrating that the PABM is a special case of the GRDPG in which communities correspond to mutually orthogonal subspaces of latent vectors and derives asymptotic properties of these algorithms. (via Semantic Scholar)

Valid two-sample graph testing via optimal transport Procrustes and multiscale graph correlation with applications in connectomics

STAT, 11(1).

By: J. Chung*, B. Varjavand*, J. Arroyo-Relion, A. Alyakin*, J. Agterberg*, M. Tang n, C. Priebe*, J. Vogelstein*

author keywords: brain networks; distance correlation; Drosophila mushroom body; random dot product graph
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that substituting the MMD test with the multiscale graph correlation (MGC) test leads to a more powerful test both in synthetic and in simulated data and there is not sufficient evidence to reject the null hypothesis that the two hemispheres are equally distributed.

Vertex Nomination Between Graphs via Spectral Embedding and Quadratic Programming

Zheng, R., Lyzinski, V., Priebe, C. E., & Tang, M. (2022, May 13). JOURNAL OF COMPUTATIONAL AND GRAPHICAL STATISTICS.

By: R. Zheng n, V. Lyzinski*, C. Priebe* & M. Tang n

author keywords: Correlated graphs; Generalized random dot product graphs; Point set registration; Vertex nomination
TL;DR: A method that first applies adjacency spectral graph embedding to embed the graphs into a common Euclidean space, and then solves a penalized linear assignment problem to obtain the nomination lists is proposed and shown to lead to accurate nomination under a generative model.

author keywords: Latent structure random graphs; manifold learning; spectral graph inference; efficiency
TL;DR: The latent structure model formulation is used to test bilateral homology in the Drosophila connectome and spectral estimates of the latent positions of an RDPG can be used for efficient estimation of the paramaters of the LSM. (via Semantic Scholar)

By: G. Li n, M. Tang n, N. Charon n & C. Priebe n

author keywords: Classical multidimensional scaling; dissimilarity matrix; perturbation analysis; central limit theorem
TL;DR: It is shown that the resulting embedding gives rise to a central limit theorem for noisy dissimilarity measurements, and compelling simulation and real data illustration of this CLT for CMDS are provided. (via Semantic Scholar)

On spectral embedding performance and elucidating network structure in stochastic blockmodel graphs

NETWORK SCIENCE, 7(3), 269–291.

By: J. Cape*, M. Tang n & C. Priebe

author keywords: stochastic blockmodel; Laplacian matrix; adjacency matrix; spectral embedding; network structure; core-periphery; Chernoff information
TL;DR: The findings support the claim that, for a particular notion of sparsity, “Laplacian spectral embedding favors relatively sparse graphs, whereas adjacency spectral embeddedding favors not-too-sparse graphs,” and provide evidence in support of the claims that “adjacency spectral embeding favors core-periphery network structure.” (via Semantic Scholar)
