Abstract

We study the problem of identifying different behaviors occurring in different parts of a large heterogenous network. We zoom in to the network using lenses of different sizes to capture the local structure of the network. These network signatures are then weighted to provide a set of predicted labels for every node. We achieve a peak accuracy of 42%\sim42\% (random=11%11\%) on two networks with 100,000\sim100,000 and 1,000,000\sim1,000,000 nodes each. Further, we perform better than random even when the given node is connected to up to 5 different types of networks. Finally, we perform this analysis on homogeneous networks and show that highly structured networks have high homogeneity.
