Hypergraph Learning with Line Expansion
Previous hypergraph expansions are solely carried out on either vertex level
or hyperedge level, thereby missing the symmetric nature of data co-occurrence,
and resulting in information loss. To address the problem, this paper treats
vertices and hyperedges equally and proposes a new hypergraph formulation named
the \emph{line expansion (LE)} for hypergraphs learning. The new expansion
bijectively induces a homogeneous structure from the hypergraph by treating
vertex-hyperedge pairs as "line nodes". By reducing the hypergraph to a simple
graph, the proposed \emph{line expansion} makes existing graph learning
algorithms compatible with the higher-order structure and has been proven as a
unifying framework for various hypergraph expansions. We evaluate the proposed
line expansion on five hypergraph datasets, the results show that our method
beats SOTA baselines by a significant margin
Spectral Detection on Sparse Hypergraphs
We consider the problem of the assignment of nodes into communities from a
set of hyperedges, where every hyperedge is a noisy observation of the
community assignment of the adjacent nodes. We focus in particular on the
sparse regime where the number of edges is of the same order as the number of
vertices. We propose a spectral method based on a generalization of the
non-backtracking Hashimoto matrix into hypergraphs. We analyze its performance
on a planted generative model and compare it with other spectral methods and
with Bayesian belief propagation (which was conjectured to be asymptotically
optimal for this model). We conclude that the proposed spectral method detects
communities whenever belief propagation does, while having the important
advantages to be simpler, entirely nonparametric, and to be able to learn the
rule according to which the hyperedges were generated without prior
information.Comment: 8 pages, 5 figure
