Abstract

In this paper, we formulate a new problem of extracting motif-based node roles from a graph with edge uncertainty, where we first count roles for each node in each sampled graph, second calculate similarities between nodes in terms of role frequency and divide all nodes into clusters according to the similarity of roles. To achieve good accuracy of role extraction for uncertain graphs, a huge amount of graph sampling, role counting, similarity calculation, or clustering is needed. For efficiently extracting node-roles from a large-scale uncertain graph, we propose four ensemble methods and compare the similarity of results and efficiency. From the experiments using four different types of real networks with probabilities assigned to their edges, we confirmed that the graph-ensemble method is much more efficient in terms of execution time compared to other ensemble methods equipped with the state-of-the-art motif counting algorithm.
