Enhancing Graph Kernels via Successive Embeddings

Published:17 October 2018Publication History

ABSTRACT

Graph kernels have recently emerged as a promising approach to perform machine learning on graph-structured data. A graph kernel implicitly embedds graphs in a Hilbert space and computes the inner product between these representations. However, the inner product operation greatly limits the representational power of kernels between graphs. In this paper, we propose to perform a series of successive embeddings in order to improve the performance of existing graph kernels and derive more expressive kernels. We first embed the input graphs in a Hilbert space using a graph kernel and then we embed them into another space by employing popular kernels for vector data (e.g., gaussian kernel). Our experiments on several datasets show that by composing kernels, we can achieve significant improvements in classification accuracy.
