Given a node-attributed graph, how can we efficiently represent it with few numerical features that expressively reflect its topology and attribute information? We proposeA-DOGE, for attributed DOS-based graph embedding, based on density of states (DOS, a.k.a. spectral density) to tackle this problem.A-DOGEis designed to fulfill a long desiderata of desirable characteristics. Most notably, it capitalizes on efficient approximation algorithms for DOS, that we extend to blend in node labels and attributes for the first time, making it fast and scalable for large attributed graphs and graph databases. Being based on the entire eigenspectrum of a graph,A-DOGEcan capture structural and attribute properties at multiple (“glocal”) scales. Moreover, it is unsupervised (i.e., agnostic to any specific objective) and lends itself to various interpretations, which makes it suitable for exploratory graph mining tasks. Finally, it processes each graph independent of others, making it amenable for streaming settings as well as parallelization. Through extensive experiments, we show the efficacy and efficiency ofA-DOGEon exploratory graph analysis and graph classification tasks, where it significantly outperforms unsupervised baselines and achieves competitive performance with modern supervised GNNs, while achieving the best trade-off between accuracy and runtime.
