Abstract

Graph embedding has been proven to be efficient and effective in facilitating\ngraph analysis. In this paper, we present a novel spectral framework called\nNOn-Backtracking Embedding (NOBE), which offers a new perspective that\norganizes graph data at a deep level by tracking the flow traversing on the\nedges with backtracking prohibited. Further, by analyzing the non-backtracking\nprocess, a technique called graph approximation is devised, which provides a\nchannel to transform the spectral decomposition on an edge-to-edge matrix to\nthat on a node-to-node matrix. Theoretical guarantees are provided by bounding\nthe difference between the corresponding eigenvalues of the original graph and\nits graph approximation. Extensive experiments conducted on various real-world\nnetworks demonstrate the efficacy of our methods on both macroscopic and\nmicroscopic levels, including clustering and structural hole spanner detection.\n
