New Monte Carlo Random Walk Kernel offers faster graph analysis

A new kernel estimation method called the Monte Carlo Random Walk Kernel (MCRWK) has been developed, offering an alternative to traditional Random Walk Kernels (RWK). MCRWK's cost per pair is independent of graph size, achieved by normalizing kernel coefficients and estimating contributions via random walks. This approach allows for approximation of RWK without constructing a product graph, with runtime and accuracy controlled by the Monte Carlo sample budget. Experiments show MCRWK to be faster and more accurate than existing methods on large synthetic and real-world graph datasets. AI

    Monte Carlo Random Walk Kernel

    arXiv:2610.40956v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We introduce the Monte Carlo Random Walk Kernel (MCRWK), an estimator whose per-pair cost is independent of graph size and derived directly from the random walk kernel (RWK) expansion. By normalizing the kernel coefficients, MCRWK s…
