There are existing standard solvers for tackling discrete optimization problems. However, in practice, it is uncommon to apply them directly to the large input space typical of this class of problems. Rather, the input is preprocessed to…
In this work we introduce and study a nonlocal version of the PageRank. In our approach, the random walker explores the graph using longer excursions than just moving between neighboring nodes. As a result, the corresponding ranking of the…
We present a unified framework to study graph kernels, special cases of which include the random walk graph kernel \citep{GaeFlaWro03,BorOngSchVisetal05}, marginalized graph kernel \citep{KasTsuIno03,KasTsuIno04,MahUedAkuPeretal04}, and…
Personalized PageRank (PPR) is a measure of the importance of a node from the perspective of another (we call these nodes the $\textit{target}$ and the $\textit{source}$, respectively). PPR has been used in many applications, such as…
