Distance-Preserving Graph Embeddings from Random Neural Features
share
We present Graph Random Neural Features (GRNF), a novel embedding method from graph-structured data to real vectors based on a family of graph neural networks. The embedding naturally deals with graph isomorphism and preserves, in probability, the metric structure of graph domain. In addition to being an explicit embedding method, it also allows to efficiently and effectively approximate graph metric distances (as well as complete kernel functions); a criterion to select the embedding dimension trading off the approximation accuracy with the computational cost is also provided. Derived GRNF can be used within traditional processing methods or as input layer of a larger graph neural network. The theoretical guarantees that accompany GRNF ensure that the considered graph distance is metric, hence allowing to distinguish any pair of non-isomorphic graphs.
