Question about FeatWalk #1

Open Tomposon opened 5 years ago

Tomposon commented 5 years ago

Brilliant idea.

I want to compute similarity matrix S, but the computation is expensive for the large-scale network.

I want to know that if I obtain the walk sequence by FeatWalk, in order to avoid computing S(reduce computing complexity), can I use the co-occurrence pairs to estimate the similarity matrix S.

Thank you very much!

Thanks for your interest.

Yes, you can. It has two issues. First, the manipulations would still be expensive since you need to have a n by n matrix, n is the number of nodes. You would need to create this n by n matrix, and add 1 to the corresponding positions based on the co-occurrence pairs. Second, the precision of the learned similarity matrix would not be high.

Thanks.

Thanks for your great analysis. Yeah, in this way, the time complexity will be O(n^2).
