A random walk is a basic stochastic process on graphs and a key primitive in the design of distributed algorithms. One of the most important features of random walks is that, under mild conditions, they converge to a stationary distribution…

We revisit a simple model class for machine learning on graphs, where a random walk on a graph produces a machine-readable record, and this record is processed by a deep neural network to directly make vertex-level or graph-level…

We consider a modified random walk which uses unvisited edges whenever possible, and makes a simple random walk otherwise. We call such a walk an edge-process. We assume there is a rule A, which tells the walk which unvisited edge to use…

We study p-Laplacians and spectral clustering for a recently proposed hypergraph model that incorporates edge-dependent vertex weights (EDVW). These weights can reflect different importance of vertices within a hyperedge, thus conferring…

We review results on linearly edge-reinforced random walks. On finite graphs, the process has the same distribution as a mixture of reversible Markov chains. This has applications in Bayesian statistics and it has been used in studying the…

We introduce weighted Markovian graphs, a random walk model that decouples the transition dynamics of a Markov chain from (random) edge weights representing the cost of traversing each edge. This decoupling allows us to study the…

We propose a one parameter family of random walk processes on hypergraphs, where a parameter biases the dynamics of the walker towards hyperedges of low or high cardinality. We show that for each value of the parameter the resulting process…

In this paper, we study the task of detecting the edge dependency between two weighted random graphs. We formulate this task as a simple hypothesis testing problem, where under the null hypothesis, the two observed graphs are statistically…

Consider the following iterated process on a hypergraph $H$. Each vertex $v$ has an initial vertex weight. At each step, we uniformly at random select an edge $F$ in $H$, and for each vertex $v$ in $F$ we replace the weight of $v$ by the…

Many real-world problems are naturally modeled as heterogeneous graphs, where nodes and edges represent multiple types of entities and relations. Existing learning models for heterogeneous graph representation usually depend on the…

Graph embedding methods represent nodes in a continuous vector space, preserving information from the graph (e.g. by sampling random walks). There are many hyper-parameters to these methods (such as random walk length) which have to be…

Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) are a popular approach for predicting graph structured data. As GNNs tightly entangle the input graph into the neural network structure, common explainable AI approaches are not applicable. To a large extent,…

Reinforced random walks are random walks on graphs whose transition probabilities along edges from a vertex are proportional to the weights of those edges, but where the weight of an edge evolves in a way that depends on the past traversals…
