Attributed Graph Kernels Using the Jensen-Tsallis Q-Differences

Abstract

We propose a family of attributed graph kernels based on mutual information measures, i.e., the Jensen-Tsallis (JT) q-differences (for q  ∈ [1,2]) between probability distributions over the graphs. To this end, we first assign a probability to each vertex of the graph through a continuous-time quantum walk (CTQW). We then adopt the tree-index approach [1] to strengthen the original vertex labels, and we show how the CTQW can induce a probability distribution over these strengthened labels. We show that our JT kernel (for q  = 1) overcomes the shortcoming of discarding non-isomorphic substructures arising in the R-convolution kernels. Moreover, we prove that the proposed JT kernels generalize the Jensen-Shannon graph kernel [2] (for q  = 1) and the classical subtree kernel [3] (for q  = 2), respectively. Experimental evaluations demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of the JT kernels.
