Balanced Graph Matching

چکیده
Graph matching is a fundamental problem in Computer Vision and Machine Learning. We present two contributions. First, we give a new spectral relaxation technique for approximate solutions to matching problems, that naturally incorporates one-to-one or one-to-many constraints within the relaxation scheme. The second is a normalization procedure for existing graph matching scoring functions that can dramatically improve the matching accuracy. It is based on a reinterpretation of the graph matching compatibility matrix as a bipartite graph on edges for which we seek a bistochastic normalization. We evaluate our two contributions on a comprehensive test set of random graph matching problems, as well as on image correspondence problem. Our normalization procedure can be used to improve the performance of many existing graph matching algorithms, including spectral matching, graduated assignment and semidefinite programming.

Matching preclusion for balanced hypercubes
Matching preclusion is a measure of robustness in the event of edge failure in interconnection networks. The matching preclusion number of a graph G is the minimum number of edges whose deletion leaves the resulting graph without a perfect matching or an almost perfect matching, and the conditional matching preclusion number of G is the minimum number of edges whose deletion leaves the resultin...

Uncertain graphs are employed to describe graph models with indeterministicinformation that produced by human beings. This paper aims to study themaximum matching problem in uncertain graphs.The number of edges of a maximum matching in a graph is called matching numberof the graph. Due to the existence of uncertain edges, the matching number of an uncertain graph is essentially an uncertain var...
متن کاملOn the balanced decomposition number
A balanced coloring of a graph G means a triple {P1, P2,X} of mutually disjoint subsets of the vertex-set V (G) such that V (G) = P1⊎P2⊎X and |P1| = |P2|. A balanced decomposition associated with the balanced coloring V (G) = P1⊎P2⊎X of G is defined as a partition of V (G) = V1⊎· · ·⊎Vr (for some r) such that, for every i ∈ {1, · · · , r}, the subgraphG[Vi] of G is connected and |Vi∩P1| = |Vi∩P...
متن کاملMatching Integral Graphs of Small Order
In this paper, we study matching integral graphs of small order. A graph is called matching integral if the zeros of its matching polynomial are all integers. Matching integral graphs were first studied by Akbari, Khalashi, etc. They characterized all traceable graphs which are matching integral. They studied matching integral regular graphs. Furthermore, it has been shown that there is no matc...
متن کاملRemarks on Distance-Balanced Graphs
Distance-balanced graphs are introduced as graphs in which every edge uv has the following property: the number of vertices closer to u than to v is equal to the number of vertices closer to v than to u. Basic properties of these graphs are obtained. In this paper, we study the conditions under which some graph operations produce a distance-balanced graph.
متن کاملLow-Rank Coding with b-Matching Constraint for Semi-Supervised Classification
Graph based semi-supervised learning (GSSL) plays an important role in machine learning systems. The most crucial step in GSSL is graph construction. Although several interesting graph construction methods have been proposed in recent years, how to construct an effective graph is still an open problem. In this paper, we develop a novel approach to constructing graph, which is based on low-rank ...
