Probabilistic prototype models for attributed graphs
This contribution proposes a new approach towards developing a class of probabilistic methods for classifying attributed graphs. The key concept is random attributed graph, which is defined as an attributed graph whose nodes and edges are annotated by random variables. Every node/edge has two random processes associated with it- occurence probability and the probability distribution over the attribute values. These are estimated within the maximum likelihood framework. The likelihood of a random attributed graph to generate an outcome graph is used as a feature for classification. The proposed approach is fast and robust to noise.
