Hypernetwork link prediction method based on the SCL-CMM model by REN Yuyuan, MA Hong, LIU Shuxin, WANG Kai

“…Subsequently, the spectral clustering parser was employed to extract the structural features of hyperlinks. The original hypergraph was reconstructed into multiple homoprotonic graphs, and the distribution of potential hyperlinks was inferred within the observation space of the subgraph, rather than the entire adjacency space, in order to restore the complete hypernetwork structure. …”
