Out-of-Sample Embedding with Proximity Data: Projection versus Restricted Reconstruction

Michael W. Trosset, Kaiyi Tan, Minh Tang +1

The problem of using proximity (similarity or dissimilarity) data for the purpose of "adding a point to a vector diagram" was first studied by J.C. Gower in 1968. Since then, a num…

Adversarial contamination of networks in the setting of vertex nomination: a new trimming method

Sheyda Peyman, Minh Tang, Vince Lyzinski

As graph data becomes more ubiquitous, the need for robust inferential graph algorithms to operate in these complex data domains is crucial. In many cases of interest, inference is…

Classification of high-dimensional data with spiked covariance matrix structure

Yin-Jen Chen, Minh Tang

We study the classification problem for high-dimensional data with observations on features where the covariance matrix exhibits a spiked eigenvalue struct…

Popularity Adjusted Block Models are Generalized Random Dot Product Graphs

John Koo, Minh Tang, Michael W. Trosset

We connect two random graph models, the Popularity Adjusted Block Model (PABM) and the Generalized Random Dot Product Graph (GRDPG), by demonstrating that the PABM is a special cas…

Exact Recovery of Community Structures Using DeepWalk and Node2vec

Yichi Zhang, Minh Tang

Random-walk based network embedding algorithms like DeepWalk and node2vec are widely used to obtain Euclidean representation of the nodes in a network prior to performing downstrea…

Learning 1-Dimensional Submanifolds for Subsequent Inference on Random Dot Product Graphs

Michael W. Trosset, Mingyue Gao, Minh Tang +1

A random dot product graph (RDPG) is a generative model for networks in which vertices correspond to positions in a latent Euclidean space and edge probabilities are determined by…

Limit theorems for out-of-sample extensions of the adjacency and Laplacian spectral embeddings

Keith Levin, Fred Roosta, Minh Tang +2

Graph embeddings, a class of dimensionality reduction techniques designed for relational data, have proven useful in exploring and modeling network structure. Most dimensionality r…

On a 'Two Truths' Phenomenon in Spectral Graph Clustering

Carey E. Priebe, Youngser Park, Joshua T. Vogelstein +6

Clustering is concerned with coherently grouping observations without any explicit concept of true groupings. Spectral graph clustering - clustering the vertices of a graph based o…

The eigenvalues of stochastic blockmodel graphs

Minh Tang

We derive the limiting distribution for the largest eigenvalues of the adjacency matrix for a stochastic blockmodel graph when the number of vertices tends to infinity. We show tha…

A statistical interpretation of spectral embedding: the generalised random dot product graph

Patrick Rubin-Delanchy, Joshua Cape, Minh Tang +1

Spectral embedding is a procedure which can be used to obtain vector representations of the nodes of a graph. This paper proposes a generalisation of the latent position network mo…

Supervised Dimensionality Reduction for Big Data

Joshua T. Vogelstein, Eric Bridgeford, Minh Tang +4

To solve key biomedical problems, experimentalists now routinely measure millions or billions of features (dimensions) per sample, with the hope that data science techniques will b…

Semiparametric spectral modeling of the Drosophila connectome

Carey E. Priebe, Youngser Park, Minh Tang +8

We present semiparametric spectral modeling of the complete larval Drosophila mushroom body connectome. Motivated by a thorough exploratory data analysis of the network via Gaussia…
