Abstract

In this paper, we propose a novel nested alignment graph kernel drawing on depth-based complexity traces and the dynamic time warping framework. Specifically, for a pair of graphs, we commence by computing the depth-based complexity traces rooted at the centroid vertices. The resulting kernel for the graphs is defined by measuring the global alignment kernel, which is developed through the dynamic time warping framework, between the complexity traces. We show that the proposed kernel simultaneously considers the local and global graph characteristics in terms of the complexity traces, but also provides richer statistic measures by incorporating the whole spectrum of alignment costs between these traces. Our experiments demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed kernel.
