Abstract

The present work introduces methods for sampling and inference for the purpose of semi-supervised classification over the nodes of a graph. The graph may be given or constructed using similarity measures among nodal features. Leveraging the graph for classification builds on the premise that relation among nodes can be modeled via stationary distributions of a certain class of random walks. The proposed classifier builds on existing scalable random-walk-based methods and improves accuracy and robustness by automatically adjusting a set of parameters to the graph and label distribution at hand. Furthermore, a sampling strategy tailored to random-walk-based classifiers is introduced. Numerical tests on benchmark synthetic and real labeled graphs demonstrate the performance of the proposed sampling and inference methods in terms of classification accuracy.
