Hyperbolic Graph Embedders for Link Prediction and Topology Reconstruction

arXiv:2608. 07029v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Hyperbolic embeddings provide compact geometric representations of complex networks in hyperbolic spaces, but systematic comparisons of methods developed in machine learning, network science, and algorithmics remain rare.

Topology-induced Operators Reveal Complementary Graph Representations without Training

The paper demonstrates that high‑quality graph embeddings can be produced without complex models or training by propagating random features through topological structures derived from random walks and anonymous walks. These training‑free embeddings capture node proximity and structural roles, respectively, and perform competitively on node, edge, and graph tasks while often requiring less computation. Combining the two embedding types further improves inference quality for some tasks.

Aitchison Embeddings for Learning Compositional Graph Representations

The paper introduces a compositional graph embedding framework based on Aitchison geometry, where nodes are represented as simplex-valued mixtures over latent archetypal factors. By embedding these mixtures using isometric log-ratio coordinates, the method preserves Aitchison distances while allowing unconstrained optimization in Euclidean space, yielding intrinsically interpretable embeddings. The approach achieves competitive performance on node classification and link prediction tasks and enables principled component restriction through subcompositional coherence, allowing analysis of how archetype groups influence representations and predictions.

From topology learning to graph generation: A unifying perspective

The article reviews the problem of learning graph structures from data, noting that research has traditionally split into two paths: inferring the topology of a single graph from observations on it, and learning a generative distribution from multiple observed graphs to sample new ones. It proposes a unified framework that treats both as inverse problems of a common graph generation process, reviews key methods, and discusses their interrelations, strengths, and limitations. The review highlights opportunities for cross‑paradigm integration and outlines future research directions.

Hyperbolic Graph Representation Learning for Differential Diagnosis on Biomedical Knowledge Graphs

The paper investigates hyperbolic graph representation learning applied to biomedical knowledge graphs for Mendelian-disease differential diagnosis. It shows that hyperbolic embeddings outperform Euclidean baselines on isolated ontology subgraphs while requiring fewer dimensions. In a link-prediction task, hyperbolic models rank candidate diseases for patients, indicating they can leverage hierarchical structure in heterogeneous patient-level graphs.
