• Abstract: Spectral methods offer a tractable, global framework for clustering in graphs via eigenvector computations on graph matrices. Hypergraph data, in which entities interact on edges of arbitrary size, poses challenges for matrix representations and therefore for spectral clustering. We study spectral clustering for nonuniform hypergraphs based on the hypergraph nonbacktracking operator. After reviewing the definition of this operator and its basic properties, we prove a theorem of Ihara-Bass type to enable faster computation of eigenpairs. We then propose an alternating algorithm for inference in a hypergraph stochastic blockmodel via linearized belief-propagation, offering proofs that both formalize and extend several previous results. We perform experiments in real and synthetic data that underscore the benefits of hypergraph methods over graph-based ones when interactions of different sizes carry different information about cluster structure. Through an analysis of our algorithm, we pose several conjectures about the limits of spectral methods and detectability in hypergraph stochastic blockmodels writ large.

  Multi-view clustering methods based on anchor graph factorization lack adequate cluster interpretability for the decomposed matrix. We address this limitation by using non-negative tensor factorization to decompose an anchor graph tensor that combines anchor graphs from multiple views.

• Graph Generation via Spectral Diffusion [51.60814773299899]
  We present GRASP, a novel graph generative model based on 1) the spectral decomposition of the graph Laplacian matrix and 2) a diffusion process. Specifically, we propose to use a denoising model to sample eigenvectors and eigenvalues from which we can reconstruct the graph Laplacian and adjacency matrix. Our permutation invariant model can also handle node features by concatenating them to the eigenvectors of each node.

  Extended Vision techniques often pose a challenge in their interpretation. The huge dimensionality of data cube spectra poses a complex task in its statistical interpretation. In this paper, we explore the possibility of applying unsupervised clustering methods in encoded space. A statistical dimensional reduction is performed by an ad hoc trained (Variational) AutoEncoder, while the clustering process is performed by a (learnable) iterative K-Means clustering algorithm.

  We study p-Laplacians and spectral clustering for a recently proposed hypergraph model that incorporates edge-dependent weights (EDVWs) We convert hypergraphs with EDVWs into submodular hypergraphs for which the spectral theory is better developed. Existing concepts and theorems such as p-Laplacians and Cheeger inequalities proposed under the submodular hypergraph setting can be directly extended to hypergraphs with EDVWs.

  We present a method inspired by spectral clustering where we instead use matrix sketches derived from random dimension-reducing projections. We show that our method produces embeddings that yield performant clustering results given a fully-dynamic block model stream. We also discuss the effects of block model parameters upon the required dimensionality of the subsequent embeddings, and show how random projections could significantly improve the performance of graph clustering in distributed memory.

  An important challenge in the field of exponential random graphs (ERGs) is the fitting of non-trivial ERGs on large graphs. We propose an approximative framework to such non-trivial ERGs that result in dyadic independence (i.e., edge independent) distributions. Our methods are scalable to sparse graphs consisting of millions of nodes.
