Learning Graph Representations by Dendrograms

13 Jul 2018  ·  Thomas Bonald, Bertrand Charpentier ·

Hierarchical graph clustering is a common technique to reveal the multi-scale structure of complex networks. We propose a novel metric for assessing the quality of a hierarchical clustering. This metric reflects the ability to reconstruct the graph from the dendrogram, which encodes the hierarchy. The optimal representation of the graph defines a class of reducible linkages leading to regular dendrograms by greedy agglomerative clustering.
