New CGW distance formulation enables network and hypernetwork analysis

Researchers have introduced a new formulation for the Conic Gromov-Wasserstein (CGW) distance, extending its applicability beyond comparing probability densities to analyzing more general network and hypernetwork structures. This enhanced framework establishes fundamental properties of the CGW metric, including its scaling behavior and robustness to measure perturbations. The paper also presents a computationally tractable block coordinate ascent algorithm for estimating the hypernetwork formulation of CGW, demonstrated through experiments on diverse datasets. AI
