This paper introduces a method for learning with hypergraphs, which can represent complex relationships among objects more accurately than traditional graphs. The authors generalize spectral clustering techniques from simple graphs to hypergraphs, developing algorithms for hypergraph embedding and transductive classification. They demonstrate that hypergraphs outperform simple graphs in several benchmark tasks, including clustering, classification, and embedding. The paper begins by discussing the limitations of simple graphs in representing complex relationships, such as those found in clustering articles by authors. It then introduces hypergraphs, which allow for more accurate representation of such relationships. The authors propose a hypergraph Laplacian, an analogue of the simple graph Laplacian, and use it to develop algorithms for hypergraph partitioning and clustering. The paper also presents a probabilistic interpretation of hypergraph normalized cut based on random walks, showing that the hypergraph normalized cut criterion can be understood as minimizing the probability of a random walk crossing between clusters while maximizing the probability of staying within a cluster. This approach is then used to develop a spectral hypergraph embedding technique, which maps hypergraph data into a lower-dimensional space. The authors also address transductive inference on hypergraphs, where the goal is to predict the labels of unlabeled vertices based on the labels of some vertices. They show that this can be achieved by using a classification function derived from the hypergraph Laplacian. The paper concludes with experimental results on several benchmark datasets, showing that the hypergraph-based methods consistently outperform simple graph-based methods. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of hypergraphs in capturing complex relationships and improving clustering and classification performance. The authors also suggest that the proposed methodology can be applied to a broader range of practical problems, including biological network analysis and social network analysis.This paper introduces a method for learning with hypergraphs, which can represent complex relationships among objects more accurately than traditional graphs.
