Sampling nodes and hyperedges via random walks on large hypergraphs by Kazuki Nakajima, Masanao Kodakari, Masaki Aida

“…Abstract Hypergraphs provide a fundamental framework for representing complex systems involving interactions among three or more entities. As empirical hypergraphs grow in size, characterizing their structural properties becomes increasingly challenging due to computational complexity and, in some cases, restricted access to complete data, requiring efficient sampling methods. …”
