Geometric Representations of Complementarity-Driven Networks

Abstract:
 
Complementarity-driven networks are routinely embedded into latent metric spaces with the purpose of data analysis. We argue that these traditional geometric representations, where connected nodes are embedded close to each other in the latent space, are not applicable to complementarity-driven networks due to the contradiction between the triangle inequality in latent metric spaces and the non-transitivity of complementarity principles. We develop a cross-geometric framework for the embedding of complementarity-driven networks and demonstrate that this representation allows for accurate embedding of real complementarity-driven networks.
