Abstract

In this paper, we introduce spatiotemporal graph \( k \)-means (STG\(k\)M), a novel, unsupervised method to cluster vertices within a dynamic network. Drawing inspiration from traditional \( k \)-means, STG\(k\)M finds both short-term dynamic clusters and a “long-lived” partitioning of vertices within a network whose topology is evolving over time. We provide an exposition of the algorithm, illuminate its operation on synthetic data, and apply it to detect political parties from a dynamic network of voting data in the United States House of Representatives. One of the main advantages of STGkM is that it has only one required parameter, namely \( k \); we therefore include an analysis of the range of this parameter and guidance on selecting its optimal value. We also give certain theoretical guarantees about the correctness of our algorithm.

Fußnoten
1
Our approach is perhaps more analogous to \( k \)-medoids, but in a network context, the distinction between \( k \)-means and \( k \)-medoids is not obvious.
 
2
If no weight functions are provided or if the weight functions only output natural numbers, then \( \delta \) will assign only natural numbers.
 
3
To see why, observe that \( k \)-medoids is \( \textsf{NP} \)-hard [20].
 
4
In the worst case, e.g. when the graph is complete at every time step, optimizing this objective is still \( \textsf{NP} \)-hard, but in practice, it makes STG\(k\)M tractable.
