Pure Spectral Graph Embeddings: Reinterpreting Graph Convolution for Top-N Recommendation

Edoardo D'Amico, Aonghus Lawlor, Neil Hurley

The use of graph convolution in the development of recommender system algorithms has recently achieved state-of-the-art results in the collaborative filtering task (CF). While it h…

Inferring Hierarchical Mixture Structures: A Bayesian Nonparametric Approach

Weipeng Huang, Nishma Laitonjam, Guangyuan Piao +1

This paper focuses on the problem of hierarchical non-overlapping clustering of a dataset. In such a clustering, each data item is associated with exactly one leaf node and each in…

Story Disambiguation: Tracking Evolving News Stories across News and Social Streams

Bichen Shi, Thanh-Binh Le, Neil Hurley +1

Following a particular news story online is an important but difficult task, as the relevant information is often scattered across different domains/sources (e.g., news articles, b…

Model-based clustering in networks with Stochastic Community Finding

Aaron F. McDaid, Brendan Thomas Murphy, Nial Friel +1

In the model-based clustering of networks, blockmodelling may be used to identify roles in the network. We identify a special case of the Stochastic Block Model (SBM) where we cons…

Percolation Computation in Complex Networks

Fergal Reid, Aaron McDaid, Neil Hurley

K-clique percolation is an overlapping community finding algorithm which extracts particular structures, comprised of overlapping cliques, from complex networks. While it is concep…

Clustering in networks with the collapsed Stochastic Block Model

Aaron F. McDaid, Thomas Brendan Murphy, Nial Friel +1

An efficient MCMC algorithm is presented to cluster the nodes of a network such that nodes with similar role in the network are clustered together. This is known as block-modelling…

Diffusion in Networks With Overlapping Community Structure

Fergal Reid, Neil Hurley

In this work we study diffusion in networks with community structure. We first replicate and extend work on networks with non-overlapping community structure. We then study diffusi…

Partitioning Breaks Communities

Fergal Reid, Aaron McDaid, Neil Hurley

Considering a clique as a conservative definition of community structure, we examine how graph partitioning algorithms interact with cliques. Many popular community-finding algorit…

Seeding for pervasively overlapping communities

Conrad Lee, Fergal Reid, Aaron McDaid +1

In some social and biological networks, the majority of nodes belong to multiple communities. It has recently been shown that a number of the algorithms that are designed to detect…

Using Model-based Overlapping Seed Expansion to detect highly overlapping community structure

Aaron F. McDaid, Neil J. Hurley

As research into community finding in social networks progresses, there is a need for algorithms capable of detecting overlapping community structure. Many algorithms have been pro…
