DeepWalk
DeepWalkは 機械学習 algorithm designed for learning low-dimensional representations (or embeddings) of nodes in large-scale networks. The technique is particularly useful in the fields of social ネットワーク分析, レコメンデーションシステム, and graph-based data processing.
The core idea behind DeepWalk is to leverage the structure of the network to capture the relationships between nodes. It does this by simulating random walks on the graph. A ランダムウォーク involves starting at a node and exploring its neighboring nodes for a certain number of steps. By generating a series of these walks, DeepWalk creates sequences of nodes that reflect the local structure of the graph.
Once these random walk sequences are generated, DeepWalk applies a technique similar to the Skip-Gram model used in 自然言語処理. This model treats the sequences of nodes as sentences and aims to predict a node based on its context within these sequences. By training a neural network in this way, DeepWalk learns to produce vector representations for each node that capture its position and relationships within the graph.
