Unsupervised Attributed Dynamic Network Embedding with Stability Guarantees
March 2025 • Emma Ceccherini, Ian Gallagher, Andrew R. Jones
Stability for dynamic network embeddings ensures that nodes behaving the same at different times receive the same embedding, allowing comparison of nodes in the network across time. We present attributed unfolded adjacency spectral embedding (AUASE), a stable unsupervised representation learning framework for dynamic networks in which nodes are attributed with time-varying covariate information. To establish stability, we prove uniform convergence to an associated latent position model. We quantify the benefits of…
