  • Targeted Sampling from Massive Block Model Graphs with Personalized Pagerank∗
    Targeted sampling from massive block model graphs with personalized PageRank∗ Fan Chen1, Yini Zhang2, and Karl Rohe1 1Department of Statistics 2School of Journalism and Mass Communication University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI 53706, USA Abstract This paper provides statistical theory and intuition for Personalized PageRank (PPR), a popular technique that samples a small community from a massive network. We study a setting where the entire network is expensive to thoroughly obtain or maintain, but we can start from a seed node of interest and \crawl" the network to find other nodes through their connections. By crawling the graph in a designed way, the PPR vector can be approximated without querying the entire massive graph, making it an alternative to snowball sampling. Using the degree-corrected stochastic block model, we study whether the PPR vector can select nodes that belong to the same block as the seed node. We provide a simple and interpretable form for the PPR vector, highlighting its biases towards high degree nodes outside of the target block. We examine a simple adjustment based on node degrees and establish consistency results for PPR clustering that allows for directed graphs. These results are enabled by recent technical advances showing the element-wise convergence of eigenvectors. We illustrate the method with the massive Twitter friendship graph, which we crawl using the Twitter API. We find that (i) the adjusted and unadjusted PPR techniques are complementary approaches, where the adjustment makes the results particularly localized around the seed node and (ii) the bias adjustment greatly benefits from degree regularization. Keywords Community detection; Degree-corrected stochastic block model; Local clustering; Network sampling; Personalized PageRank arXiv:1910.12937v2 [cs.SI] 1 Jul 2020 1 Introduction Much of the literature on graph sampling has treated the entire graph, or all of the people in it, as the target population.
