Distributed-Memory Vertex-Centric Network Embedding for Large-Scale Graphs
share
Network embedding is an important step in many different computations based on graph data. However, existing approaches are limited to small or middle size graphs with fewer than a million edges. In practice, web or social network graphs are orders of magnitude larger, thus making most current methods impractical for very large graphs. To address this problem, we introduce a new distributed-memory parallel network embedding method based on Apache Spark and GraphX. We demonstrate the scalability of our method as well as its ability to generate meaningful embeddings for vertex classification and link prediction on both real-world and synthetic graphs.
