Neural Information Processing Systems 

The paper starts by situating the problem and motivating their approach - essentially, enabling embeddings for weighted graphs by extending the original implicit embedding performed in Lovasz "Shannon capacity of a graph" paper, which operated on binary graphs. The paper then presents the connection between kernel machines and the Lovasz number in the unweighted case, and extends previous work for vertex-weighted, edge-weighted, and LS-labelled graphs. Section 3 provides practical details for computation, and section 4 motivates the use of their approach for the clustering problem - setting the number of clusters by using their \vartheta 1 bound, and initialising the clusters by starting by vertices with large alpha_i values. Finally, they show results on max-cut, clustering, overlapping clustering, and summarization tasks. The paper ties together very different work to propose a coherent approach to graph embedding. The contributions are clearly laid out, and the references to previous work is well established and used.
