We propose a novel Lorentz Structural Entropy neural Net (LSEnet), which aims to learn the optimal partitioning tree T ∗ net in the Lorentz model of hyperbolic space, where we further incorporate node features with structural information by graph convolution net. First, we show the reason we opt for hyperbolic space, rather than Euclidean space.

Hyperbolic space is well suited to embed the partitioning tree, and Theorem 5.1 does not hold for Euclidean space.

Overall architecture of LSEnet is sketched in Figure 2. In hyperbolic space, LSEnet first embeds leaf nodes of the tree, and then recursively learns parent nodes, self-supervised by our new clustering objective Eq. (4).
