Inhomogeneous Hypergraph Clustering with Applications

Neural Information Processing Systems

Hypergraph partitioning is an important problem in machine learning, computer vision and network analytics. A widely used method for hypergraph partitioning relies on minimizing a normalized sum of the costs of partitioning hyperedges across clusters. Algorithmic solutions based on this approach assume that different partitions of a hyperedge incur the same cost. However, this assumption fails to leverage the fact that different subsets of vertices within the same hyperedge may have different structural importance. We hence propose a new hypergraph clustering technique, termed inhomogeneous hypergraph partitioning, which assigns different costs to different hyperedge cuts. We prove that inhomogeneous partitioning produces a quadratic approximation to the optimal solution if the inhomogeneous costs satisfy submodularity constraints. Moreover, we demonstrate that inhomogenous partitioning offers significant performance improvements in applications such as structure learning of rankings, subspace segmentation and motif clustering.

In the supplementary material, we provide additional information and details in A.1. This section covers the introduction of data, key parameter settings, comparisons with baselines, optimization methods, and the algorithm process of our method. The statistical information of the aforementioned four real-world datasets is presented in Table 4. These datasets primarily consist of daily spatio-temporal statistics in the United States. We perform 2 dynamic routing iterations.
