Node Attribute Lifting Implementation: From Graph to Hypergraph
Our node attribute lifting method converts a traditional graph into a hypergraph based on the attributes of the nodes. This approach is simple yet highly effective for a variety of real-world applications.
Method Overview
The process involves transforming a graph into a hypergraph where hyperedges are formed by grouping nodes that share the same attribute. Given that each node can have multiple attributes, users have the flexibility to select which attribute to use for constructing the hyperedges. Additionally, users can preprocess the data to introduce new attributes, enhancing the grouping possibilities.
Example
Consider a social network where users have attributes such as the city they live in and the school they attend. Even if users are not directly connected, grouping them by the same city or school can be extremely useful for analysis. This can uncover patterns and connections that are not immediately apparent through direct relationships alone.
Here is an illustrative example to show how different node attributes can create different hypergraphs. In a social network:
These groupings help in analyzing the data by providing insights based on additional contextual information beyond direct connections.

Real-World Applications
This lifting approach is particularly valuable for datasets rich in node attributes. It allows for a more nuanced analysis by considering groupings based on shared attributes rather than just direct connections. Some example applications include:
