In semi-supervised learning on graphs, response variables observed at one node are used to estimate missing values at other nodes. The methods exploit correlations between nearby nodes in the graph. In this paper we prove that many such…

Many models for undirected graphs are based on factorizing the graph's adjacency matrix; these models find a vector representation of each node such that the predicted probability of a link between two nodes increases with the similarity…

Consider a linear model $y = X \beta + z$, $z \sim N(0, \sigma^2 I_n)$. The Gram matrix $\Theta = \frac{1}{n} X'X$ is non-sparse, but it is approximately the sum of two components, a low-rank matrix and a sparse matrix, where neither…
