有向网络中基于角色的相似性

Role-based similarity in directed networks

Kathryn Cooper, Mauricio Barahona

摘要:

日益复杂的网络的广泛相关性需要方法来提取这些系统的有意义的粗粒度表示。对于无向图,标准社区检测方法使用主要基于连接密度的标准来提供这种表示。我们提出了一种方法分组节点在有向网络中的作用的基础上,在网络中的传入和传出的流的模式理解。角色分组是通过相似性矩阵的聚类来获得的,该相似性矩阵由包含每个节点的所有长度的进出路径的数量的特征向量之间的距离形成。因此,在类似的流环境中操作的节点被分组在一起,尽管它们本身可能不是密集连接的。我们的方法,其中包括一个比例因子,揭示了强大的分组的基础上日益全球化的结构,提供了一种替代标准,以揭示网络中的结构,其中有一个隐式的流量传输系统。我们说明了它的应用程序,从生态,世界贸易和细胞代谢的各种数据。

英文摘要:

The widespread relevance of increasingly complex networks requires methods to extract meaningful coarse-grained representations of such systems. For undirected graphs, standard community detection methods use criteria largely based on density of connections to provide such representations. We propose a method for grouping nodes in directed networks based on the role of the nodes in the network, understood in terms of patterns of incoming and outgoing flows. The role groupings are obtained through the clustering of a similarity matrix, formed by the distances between feature vectors that contain the number of in and out paths of all lengths for each node. Hence nodes operating in a similar flow environment are grouped together although they may not themselves be densely connected. Our method, which includes a scale factor that reveals robust groupings based on increasingly global structure, provides an alternative criterion to uncover structure in networks where there is an implicit flow transfer in the system. We illustrate its application to a variety of data from ecology, world trade and cellular metabolism.
