Aitchison Embeddings for Learning Compositional Graph Representations

arXiv:2605.00716v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Representation learning is central to graph machine learning, powering tasks such as link prediction and node classification. However, most graph embeddings are hard to interpret, offering limited insight into how learned features relate to graph structure. Many networks naturally admit a role-mixture view, where nodes are best described as mixtures over latent archetypal factors. Motivated by this structure, we propose a compositional graph embedding framework grounded in Aitchison geometry, the canonical geometry for comparing mixtures. Nod
