Title
(Hyper)Graph Kernels Over Simplicial Complexes
Abstract
Graph kernels are one of the mainstream approaches when dealing with measuring similarity between graphs, especially for pattern recognition and machine learning tasks. In turn, graphs gained a lot of attention due to their modeling capabilities for several real-world phenomena ranging from bioinformatics to social network analysis. However, the attention has been recently moved towards hypergraphs, generalization of plain graphs where multi-way relations (other than pairwise relations) can be considered. In this paper, four (hyper)graph kernels are proposed and their efficiency and effectiveness are compared in a twofold fashion. First, by inferring the simplicial complexes on the top of underlying graphs and by performing a comparison among 18 benchmark datasets against state-of-the-art approaches; second, by facing a real-world case study (i.e., metabolic pathways classification) where input data are natively represented by hypergraphs. With this work, we aim at fostering the extension of graph kernels towards hypergraphs and, more in general, bridging the gap between structural pattern recognition and the domain of hypergraphs.
