COSNet: Cost Sensitive Network for node label prediction on graphs...

In COSNet: Cost Sensitive Network for node label prediction on graphs with highly unbalanced labelings

Description

This function realizes the COSNet algorithm (Frasca et al. 2013). COSNet is a semi-supervised algorithm based on parametric Hopfield networks for predicting labels for unlabeled nodes in graphs which are only partially labeled.

Usage

COSNet(W, labeling, cost = 0)

Arguments

W	square symmetric named matrix, whose components are in the interval [0,1]. The i,j-th component is a similarity index between node i and node j. The components of the diagonal of W are zero. Rows and columns should be named identically.
labeling	vector of node labels: 1 for positive examples, -1 for negative examples, 0 for unlabeled nodes.
cost	real value corresponding to beta parameter in the equation eta = beta*|tan((alpha - pi/4)*2)|, where eta is the coefficient of the regularization term in the energy function (Frasca et al. 2013). If cost = 0 (default) the unregularized version is executed. "cost" is a real value that reduces or increases the influence of regularization on the network dynamics. The higher the value of cost, the more the influence of the regularization term. It is suggested using small values for this parameter (e.g. cost = 0.0001)

Details

COSNet contructs a Hopfield network whose connection matrix is W, and it applies a cost-sensitive strategy to determine the network parameters starting from W and labels "labeling". COSNet distinguishes between labeled (1, -1 components in "labeling") and unlabeled (zero components in "labeling") nodes, and it is made up by three steps: 1) Generating a random labeling (1, -1) for unlabeled nodes. 2) Learning the parameters "alpha and "c" such that the line "cos(alpha)*y - sin(alpha)*x - q*cos(alpha) = 0 " linearly separates a suitable set of labeled points (in which each point corresponds to a labeled node) and optimizes (in terms of alpha and q) the F-score criterion. The output of this phase is the intercept "q" of the optimum line and the corresponding angle "alpha". Then each neuron has threshold c = - q*cos(alpha). 3) Extending "c" and "alpha" to the subnetwork composed of only unlabeled nodes, and simulating it until an equilibrium state is reached. The dynamics of this network is regularized by adding a term to the energy function that is minimized when the proportion of positive in the network state is roughly the proportion of positives in the labeled part of the network. The parameter "cost" corresponds to the parameter beta in the equation eta = beta*|tan((alpha - pi/4)*2)| (see Frasca et al. 2013). When the equilibrium state is reached, positive nodes will be predicted as positive for the current task.

Value

COSNet returns a list with six elements:

alpha	the optimum angle
c	the optimum threshold
Fscore	the optimum F-score computed in Step 2
pred	the vector of predictions for unlabeled nodes
scores	the vector of scores for unlabeled nodes
iter	number of iterations until convergence in Step 3
