Mapper on Graphs for Network Visualization Mapper on Graphs for Network Visualization Mustafa Hajij,∗ Paul Rosen,y Bei Wangz Abstract Networks are an exceedingly popular type of data for representing relationships between individuals, businesses, proteins, brain regions, telecommunication endpoints, etc. Network or graph visualization provides an intuitive way to explore the node-link structures of network data for instant sense-making. However, naive node-link diagrams can fail to convey insights regarding network structures, even for moderately sized data of a few hundred nodes. We pro- pose to apply the mapper construction|a popular tool in topological data analysis|to graph visualization, which provides a strong theoretical basis for summarizing network data while preserving their core structures. We develop a variation of the mapper construction target- ing weighted, undirected graphs, called mapper on graphs, which generates property-preserving summaries of graphs. We provide a software tool that enables interactive explorations of such summaries and demonstrates the effectiveness of our method for synthetic and real-world data. The mapper on graphs approach we propose represents a new class of techniques that leverages tools from topological data analysis in addressing challenges in graph visualization. 1 Introduction Networks are often used to model social, biological, and technological systems. In recent years, our ability to collect and archive such data has far outpaced our ability to understand them. For instance, the Blue Brain Project|the worlds largest-scale simulations of neural circuits|generates instances of the micro-connectome containing 10 million neurons and 88 billion synaptic connections for the rodent brain. The challenges for graph visualization (sometimes called network visualization) are two-fold: how to effectively extract features from such complex data; and how to design effective visualizations to communicate these features to the users. We propose to address these challenges by leveraging the mapper construction [88], a tool in topological data analysis (TDA), to develop visualizations for large network data. Given a topological space X equipped with a function f on X, the classic mapper construction from the arXiv:1804.11242v4 [cs.SI] 17 Dec 2019 seminal work of Singh et al. [88] provides a topological summary of the data for efficient computation, manipulation, and exploration. It has enjoyed tremendous success in data science, from cancer research [72] to sports analytics [1], among others [17, 64, 65, 91]; it is also a cornerstone of several data analytics companies, e.g., Ayasdi and Alpine Data Labs. In this paper, we develop a variation of the mapper construction targeting weighted undirected graphs, called mapper on graphs. For the rest of the paper, we use networks to refer to the data and graphs as an abstraction to the data. The mapper construction connects naturally with visualization by providing a strong theoretical basis for simplifying large complex data while preserving their core structures.

We limit our review to node-link diagrams, which are utilized by many visu- alization software tools, including Gephi [7], GraphViz [34], and NodeXL [44]. For a comprehensive overview of graph visualization techniques, see [93]. One of the biggest challenges with node-link diagrams is visual clutter, which has been exten- sively studied in graph visualization [33]. It is mainly addressed in three ways: improved node layouts, edges bundling, and alternative visual representations. Tutte [92] provided the earliest graph layout method for node-link diagrams, followed by meth- ods driven by linear programming [40], force-directed embeddings [37, 47], embeddings of the graph metric [39], and connectivity structures [13, 50, 52, 53]. TopoLayout [2] creates a hybrid layout by decomposing a graph into subgraphs based on their topological features, including trees, complete graphs, bi-connected components, and clusters, which are subsequently grouped and laid out as meta-nodes. One of many differences between TopoLayout and our work is that we use functions defined on the graph to automatically and interactively guide decomposition and feature extraction among subgraphs. Edge bundling, which bundles adjacent edges together, is commonly used to reduce visual clutter on dense graphs [45]. For massive graphs, hierarchical edge bundling scales to millions of edges [38], while divided edge bundling [85] tends to produce higher-quality visual results. Nevertheless, these approaches only deal with edge clutter, not node clutter, and they only support limited types of analytic tasks [4, 67]. Finally, alternative visual representations have been used to remove clutter, ranging from varia- tions on node-link diagrams, such as replacing nodes with modules [31] and motifs [30], to abstract representations, such as matrix diagrams [28] and graph statistics [49]. Node clustering. The objective in node clustering (or graph clustering) is to group the nodes of the graph by taking into consideration its edge structure [84]. Common techniques include spectral methods [26, 36, 54, 94], similarity-based aggregation [90], community detection [69, 70], random walks [48, 80], and hierarchical clustering [12, 16]. Edge clustering has also been studied [23, 35]. Broadly speaking, our approach is a type of graph clustering that simultaneously preserves relationships between clusters. TDA in graph analysis and visualization. Persistent homology (the study of topological features across multi-scales) and mapper construction are two of the most widely used tools in TDA. A number of works use persistent homology to analyze graphs [29, 32, 46, 76, 77], and it has been applied to the study of collaboration networks [5, 20] and brain networks [21, 24, 56, 57, 58, 59, 79]. In terms of graph visualization, persistent homology has been used in capturing changes in time- varying graphs [43], as well as supporting interactive force-directed layouts [89]. The mapper construction [88] has been widely utilized in TDA for a number of applications [17, 64, 65, 73, 91]. Recently, it has witnessed major theoretical developments (e.g., [19, 25, 68]) that 2 Figure 1: An illustration of the mapper on graphs construction: (a) A weighted graph G = (V; E) has (b) a topological lens f : V ! R applied. (c) A cover U of the range space is given by intervals −1 U1, U2, U3, and U4 as cover elements. (d-e) The connected subgraphs induced by f (Ui) form a cover of G, denoted as f ∗(U).

To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time the mapper construction is utilized explicitly in graph visualization. 3 Methods: Mapper on Graphs Construction Suppose the data is a weighted graph G = (V; E) equipped with a positive edge weight w : E ! R and a real-valued function defined on its nodes f : V ! R. Our mapper on graphs method|a variation of the classic mapper construction|provides a general framework to analyze, simplify, and visualize G, as well as functions on G. An open cover of a topological space X is a collection U = fUαgα2A of open sets for some S indexing set A such that α2A Uα = X. A finite open cover U is a good cover if every finite nonempty intersection of sets in U is contractible. The mapper on graphs construction starts with a finite good cover U = fUαgα2A of the image S ∗ f(V ) of f, such that f(V ) ⊆ Uα. Let f (U) denote the cover of G obtained by considering the −1 connected components (i.e., maximal connected subgraphs) induced by nodes in f (Uα) for each α. Given a cover U = fUαgα2A of X, let N (U) denote the simplicial complex that corresponds to T ∗ the nerve of the cover U, that is, N (U) = σ ⊆ A j α2σ Uα 6= ; . We compute the nerve of f (U), denoted as N (f ∗(U)), and refer to its 1-dimensional skeleton as the mapper on a graph, denoted as M; see Figure 1 for an illustrative example. Parameters. Mapper on graphs is inherently multi-scale; its construction relies on two sets of parameters: the first defines the function/lens f, and the other specifies the cover U. For simplicity, we normalize the range space f(V ) to be within [0; 1]. 1. Topological Lens: The function f plays the role of a topological lens through which we look at the properties of the data, and different lenses provide different insights [9, 88]. 3 Mapper on graphs currently considers three graph-theoretic lenses, average geodesic distance (AGD), density estimation, and eigenfunctions of the graph Laplacian (see Figure 2), although our framework can be easily extended to include other lenses (see Section 6). 2. Cover: The range of f, f(V ) ⊆ [0; 1], is covered by U, which consists of a finite number of open intervals as cover elements U = fUαgα2A. A common strategy is to use uniformly sized overlapping intervals. Let n be the number of intervals, and describes the amount of overlap between adjacent intervals (see Section 3.2 for details). Adjusting these parameters increases or decreases the amount of aggregation mapper on graphs provides.

  • Latent Distance Estimation for Random Geometric Graphs ∗
    Latent Distance Estimation for Random Geometric Graphs ∗ Ernesto Araya Valdivia Laboratoire de Math´ematiquesd'Orsay (LMO) Universit´eParis-Sud 91405 Orsay Cedex France Yohann De Castro Ecole des Ponts ParisTech-CERMICS 6 et 8 avenue Blaise Pascal, Cit´eDescartes Champs sur Marne, 77455 Marne la Vall´ee,Cedex 2 France Abstract: Random geometric graphs are a popular choice for a latent points generative model for networks. Their definition is based on a sample of n points X1;X2; ··· ;Xn on d−1 the Euclidean sphere S which represents the latent positions of nodes of the network. The connection probabilities between the nodes are determined by an unknown function (referred to as the \link" function) evaluated at the distance between the latent points. We introduce a spectral estimator of the pairwise distance between latent points and we prove that its rate of convergence is the same as the nonparametric estimation of a d−1 function on S , up to a logarithmic factor. In addition, we provide an efficient spectral algorithm to compute this estimator without any knowledge on the nonparametric link function. As a byproduct, our method can also consistently estimate the dimension d of the latent space. MSC 2010 subject classifications: Primary 68Q32; secondary 60F99, 68T01.

Introduction Random geometric graph (RGG) models have received attention lately as alternative to some simpler yet unrealistic models as the ubiquitous Erd¨os-R´enyi model [11]. They are generative latent point models for graphs, where it is assumed that each node has associated a latent d point in a metric space (usually the Euclidean unit sphere or the unit cube in R ) and the connection probability between two nodes depends on the position of their associated latent points.

  • The Domination Number of On-Line Social Networks and Random Geometric Graphs?
    The domination number of on-line social networks and random geometric graphs? Anthony Bonato1, Marc Lozier1, Dieter Mitsche2, Xavier P´erez-Gim´enez1, and Pawe lPra lat1 1 Ryerson University, Toronto, Canada, [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] 2 Universit´ede Nice Sophia-Antipolis, Nice, France [email protected] Abstract. We consider the domination number for on-line social networks, both in a stochastic net- work model, and for real-world, networked data. Asymptotic sublinear bounds are rigorously derived for the domination number of graphs generated by the memoryless geometric protean random graph model. We establish sublinear bounds for the domination number of graphs in the Facebook 100 data set, and these bounds are well-correlated with those predicted by the stochastic model. In addition, we derive the asymptotic value of the domination number in classical random geometric graphs. 1. Introduction On-line social networks (or OSNs) such as Facebook have emerged as a hot topic within the network science community. Several studies suggest OSNs satisfy many properties in common with other complex networks, such as: power-law degree distributions [2, 13], high local cluster- ing [36], constant [36] or even shrinking diameter with network size [23], densification [23], and localized information flow bottlenecks [12, 24]. Several models were designed to simulate these properties [19, 20], and one model that rigorously asymptotically captures all these properties is the geometric protean model (GEO-P) [5{7] (see [16, 25, 30, 31] for models where various ranking schemes were first used, and which inspired the GEO-P model).

  • Clique Colourings of Geometric Graphs
    CLIQUE COLOURINGS OF GEOMETRIC GRAPHS COLIN MCDIARMID, DIETER MITSCHE, AND PAWELPRA LAT Abstract. A clique colouring of a graph is a colouring of the vertices such that no maximal clique is monochromatic (ignoring isolated vertices). The least number of colours in such a colouring is the clique chromatic number. Given n points x1;:::; xn in the plane, and a threshold r > 0, the corre- sponding geometric graph has vertex set fv1; : : : ; vng, and distinct vi and vj are adjacent when the Euclidean distance between xi and xj is at most r. We investigate the clique chromatic number of such graphs. We first show that the clique chromatic number is at most 9 for any geometric graph in the plane, and briefly consider geometric graphs in higher dimensions. Then we study the asymptotic behaviour of the clique chromatic number for the random geometric graph G(n; r) in the plane, where n random points are independently and uniformly distributed in a suitable square. We see that as r increases from 0, with high probability the clique chromatic number is 1 for very small r, then 2 for small r, then at least 3 for larger r, and finally drops back to 2. 1. Introduction and main results In this section we introduce clique colourings and geometric graphs; and we present our main results, on clique colourings of deterministic and random geometric graphs. Recall that a proper colouring of a graph is a labeling of its vertices with colours such that no two vertices sharing the same edge have the same colour; and the smallest number of colours in a proper colouring of a graph G = (V; E) is its chromatic number, denoted by χ(G).

  • Robustness of Community Detection to Random Geometric Perturbations
    Robustness of Community Detection to Random Geometric Perturbations Sandrine Péché Vianney Perchet LPSM, University Paris Diderot Crest, ENSAE & Criteo AI Lab [email protected] [email protected] Abstract We consider the stochastic block model where connection between vertices is perturbed by some latent (and unobserved) random geometric graph. The objective is to prove that spectral methods are robust to this type of noise, even if they are agnostic to the presence (or not) of the random graph. We provide explicit regimes where the second eigenvector of the adjacency matrix is highly correlated to the true community vector (and therefore when weak/exact recovery is possible). This is possible thanks to a detailed analysis of the spectrum of the latent random graph, of its own interest. Introduction In a d-dimensional random geometric graph, N vertices are assigned random coordinates in Rd, and only points close enough to each other are connected by an edge. Random geometric graphs are used to model complex networks such as social networks, the world wide web and so on. We refer to [19]- and references therein - for a comprehensive introduction to random geometric graphs. On the other hand, in social networks, users are more likely to connect if they belong to some specific community (groups of friends, political party, etc.). This has motivated the introduction of the stochastic block models (see the recent survey [1] and the more recent breakthrough [5] for more details), where in the simplest case, each of the N vertices belongs to one (and only one) of the two communities that are present in the network.

  • A Survey on Exponential Random Graph Models: an Application Perspective
    A survey on exponential random graph models: an application perspective Saeid Ghafouri and Seyed Hossein Khasteh School of computer engineering, K. N. Toosi University of Technology, Tehran, Iran ABSTRACT The uncertainty underlying real-world phenomena has attracted attention toward statistical analysis approaches. In this regard, many problems can be modeled as networks. Thus, the statistical analysis of networked problems has received special attention from many researchers in recent years. Exponential Random Graph Models, known as ERGMs, are one of the popular statistical methods for analyzing the graphs of networked data. ERGM is a generative statistical network model whose ultimate goal is to present a subset of networks with particular characteristics as a statistical distribution. In the context of ERGMs, these graph's characteristics are called statistics or configurations. Most of the time they are the number of repeated subgraphs across the graphs. Some examples include the number of triangles or the number of cycle of an arbitrary length. Also, any other census of the graph, as with the edge density, can be considered as one of the graph's statistics. In this review paper, after explaining the building blocks and classic methods of ERGMs, we have reviewed their newly presented approaches and research papers. Further, we have conducted a comprehensive study on the applications of ERGMs in many research areas which to the best of our knowledge has not been done before. This review paper can be used as an introduction for scientists from various disciplines whose aim is to use ERGMs in some networked data in their field of expertise.

  • A Spatial Model for Social Networks
    A spatial model for social networks Ling Heng Wong,∗ Phillipa Pattison, and Garry Robins Department of Psychology, The University of Melbourne. February 2, 2008 Abstract We study spatial embeddings of random graphs in which nodes are randomly distributed in geographical space. We let the edge probability between any two nodes to be dependent on the spatial distance between them and demonstrate that this model captures many generic properties of social networks, including the “small-world” properties, skewed degree distribution, and most distinctively the existence of community structures. MSC classifications: 91D30, 90B10, 82B99. Keywords: Social networks, small world, spatial model, community structure, homophily. 1 Introduction Complex social networks arise in a wide range of contexts, for example as corporate partnership networks [22], scientist collaboration networks [30], company director net- works [41], film actors networks [3], sexual contact networks [26], etc. Indeed, a lot of attention has been given by both physical and social scientists in recent years to model these networks so as to gain better understandings of their general structures as well as their various functions like information flow [18], locating individuals [1], disease spread [26], etc. For a review of recent efforts, see for example [40], [2] and [31]. While there is an apparent increase in the number of network models in the literature, not all of these models have taken full advantage of the sociological and psychological insights on how social networks may be formed. arXiv:physics/0505128v2 [physics.soc-ph] 30 May 2005 1.1 Spatial characteristics of social ties The principle of homophily, or in essence “birds of a feather flock together,” has been firmly established by many empirical studies [24].

Geometry endows RGGs with a rich dependence structure and often leads to desirable properties of real-world networks such as the small-world phenomenon and clustering. Originally introduced to model wireless communication networks, RGGs are now very popular with applications ranging from network user profiling to protein-protein interactions in biology. RGGs are also of purely theoretical interest since the underlying geometry gives rise to challenging mathematical questions. Their resolutions involve results from probability, statistics, combinatorics or information theory, placing RGGs at the intersection of a large span of research communities. This paper surveys the recent developments in RGGs from the lens of high dimensional settings and non-parametric inference. We also explain how this model differs from classical community based random graph models and we review recent works that try to take the best of both worlds. As a by-product, we expose the scope of the mathematical tools used in the proofs. 1 Introduction 1.1 Random graph models Graphs are nowadays widely used in applications to model real world complex systems. Since they are high dimensional objects, one needs to assume some structure on the data of interest to be able to efficiently extract information on the studied system. To this purpose, a large number of models of random graphs have been already introduced.
