Abstract

Networks that change over time, e.g. functional brain networks that change their structure due to processes such as development or aging, are naturally modeled by time-evolving networks. In this paper we present PATENet, a novel method for aligning time-evolving networks. PATENet offers a mathematically-sound approach to aligning time evolving networks. PATENet leverages existing similarity measures for networks with fixed topologies to define well-behaved similarity measures for time evolving networks. We empirically explore the behavior of PATENet through synthetic time evolving networks under a variety of conditions.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Notice that \( \tilde{\chi }:{\mathcal{G}} \times {\mathcal{G}}^{'} \to {\mathbb{R}} \).

  2. 2.

    Notice that \( \tilde{\chi }\left( {G,G} \right) = 1 \) is not required, as the alignment score has no upper bound.

  3. 3.

    Notice that the OSN similarity score measures similarity in the context of the locally aligned segments of the sequences. That is, if OSNs \( {\mathcal{G}} \) and \( {\mathcal{G}}^{'} \) have \( k \) elements aligned with average element-wise similarity of \( h \), whether \( k = min\left( {n,m} \right) \) or \( k < min\left( {n,m} \right) \), . Additionally, if OSNs \( {\mathcal{G}} \) and \( {\mathcal{G}}^{'} \) have one element aligned with element-wise similarity of 1.0, while OSNs \( {\mathcal{G}} \) and \( {\mathcal{G}}^{''} \) have four elements aligned with each element-wise similarity being 0.9, (but \( \tilde{\chi }\left( {{\mathcal{G}},{\mathcal{G}}^{\prime } } \right) < \tilde{\chi }\left( {{\mathcal{G}},{\mathcal{G}}^{\prime \prime } } \right) \)).
