Abstract

We investigate the problem of learning to generate complex networks from data. Specifically, we consider whether deep belief networks, dependency networks, and members of the exponential random graph family can learn to generate networks whose complex behavior is consistent with a set of input examples. We find that the deep model is able to capture the complex behavior of small networks, but that no model is able capture this behavior for networks with more than a handful of nodes.
