This work addresses the rising demand for novel tools in statistical and machine learning for "graph-valued random variables" by proposing a fast algorithm to compute the sample Frechet mean, which replaces the concept of sample mean for graphs (or networks). We use convolutional neural networks to learn the morphology of the graphs in a set of graphs. Our experiments on several ensembles of random graphs demonstrate that our method can reliably recover the sample Frechet mean.
