It aims to predict the missing links in current networks and new links that will appear in future networks.Despite the presence of missing links in the target network of link prediction studies, the network it processes remains macroscopically as a large connectedgraph. However, the complexity of the real world makes the complex networksabstracted from real systems often contain many isolated nodes. This phenomenon leads to existing link prediction methods not to efficiently implement the prediction of missing edges on isolated nodes. Therefore, the cold-start linkprediction is favored as one of the most valuable subproblems of traditional linkprediction. However, due to the loss of many links in the observation network, thetopological information available for completing the link prediction task is extremely scarce. This presents a severe challenge for the study of cold-start link prediction. Therefore, how to mine and fuse more available non-topologicalinformation from observed network becomes the key point to solve the problemof cold-start link prediction. In this paper, we propose a framework for solving thecold-start link prediction problem, a joint-weighted symmetric nonnegative matrixfactorization model fusing graph regularization information, based on low-rankapproximation algorithms in the field of machine learning. First, the nonlinear features in high-dimensional space of node attributes are captured by the designedgraph regularization term. Second, using a weighted matrix, we associate the attribute similarity and first order structure information of nodes and constrain eachother. Finally, a unified framework for implementing cold-start link prediction isconstructed by using a symmetric nonnegative matrix factorization model to integrate the multiple information extracted together. Extensive experimental validationon five real networks with attributes shows that the proposed model has very goodpredictive performance when predicting missing edges of isolated nodes.展开更多
