Abstract
Network hashing converts each node of a graph into a compact binary code, and it is a useful graph analytics tool since it can reduce memory cost. INH-MF is a network hashing approach to factorize the high-order proximity matrix representing similarities between nodes. However, since it cuts small nonzero elements from the proximity matrix, it fails to effectively extract insights from the graph. Moreover, it incurs high memory and computational costs since the proximity matrix is large and dense. We propose Graph Clustering-based Network Hashing, a novel network hashing approach. To compute the proximities effectively, it uses the structural relationships between nodes and clusters obtained from a graph clustering approach. Moreover, it can efficiently compute hash codes from eigenvectors of the matrix corresponding to the graph Laplacian by using its low-rank property. Experiments show that it can more efficiently and effectively compute hash codes than previous approaches.
