Questions
Did you try the power law exponent instead of the Gini coefficient?
    → Yes, but see (Kunegis & Preusse 2012)

Did you try the absolute value instead of the square in rankF ?
    → Yes, it leads to the nuclear norm instead of the Frobenius
    norm

Isn't it hard to find a maximal directed 2-matching?
     → It takes a runtime of O(|V|1/2 |E|)

How is the approximation using only R eigenvalues for the WSD
justified?
     → By observing that all eigenvalues shrink

  • 25. Questions Did you try the power law exponent instead of the Gini coefficient? → Yes, but see (Kunegis & Preusse 2012) Did you try the absolute value instead of the square in rankF ? → Yes, it leads to the nuclear norm instead of the Frobenius norm Isn't it hard to find a maximal directed 2-matching? → It takes a runtime of O(|V|1/2 |E|) How is the approximation using only R eigenvalues for the WSD justified? → By observing that all eigenvalues shrink Jérôme Kunegis et al.
