In this paper, we tackle the problem of online semi-supervised learning (SSL). When data arrive in a stream, the dual problems of computation and data storage arise for any SSL method. We propose a fast approximate online SSL algorithm that…
Social networks are often modeled using signed graphs, where vertices correspond to users and edges have a sign that indicates whether an interaction between users was positive or negative. The arising signed graphs typically contain a…
The parameterized matching problem is a variant of string matching, which is to search for all parameterized occurrences of a pattern $P$ in a text $T$. In considering matching algorithms, the combinatorial natures of strings, especially…
In this paper we study the problem of discovering a timeline of events in a temporal network. We model events as dense subgraphs that occur within intervals of network activity. We formulate the event-discovery task as an optimization…
We study \emph{sublinear} algorithms that solve linear systems locally. In the classical version of this problem the input is a matrix $S\in \mathbb{R}^{n\times n}$ and a vector $b\in\mathbb{R}^n$ in the range of $S$, and the goal is to…
The study of domination in graphs has led to a variety of domination problems studied in the literature. Most of these follow the following general framework: Given a graph $G$ and an integer $k$, decide if there is a set $S$ of $k$…
We consider the problem of counting all $k$-vertex subgraphs in an input graph, for any constant $k$. This problem (denoted sub-cnt$_k$) has been studied extensively in both theory and practice. In a classic result, Chiba and Nishizeki…
This paper investigates the semi-streaming complexity of \textit{$k$-partial coloring}, a generalization of proper graph coloring. For $k \geq 1$, a $k$-partial coloring requires that each vertex $v$ in an $n$-node graph is assigned a color…
We contribute to the theoretical understanding of randomized search heuristics for dynamic problems. We consider the classical vertex coloring problem on graphs and investigate the dynamic setting where edges are added to the current graph.…
It is known that a graph isomorphism testing algorithm is polynomially equivalent to a detecting of a graph non-trivial automorphism algorithm. The polynomiality of the latter algorithm, is obtained by consideration of symmetry properties…
A polynomial time algorithm that determines for a fixed integer k whether or not a P5-free graph can be k-colored is presented in this paper. If such a coloring exists, the algorithm will produce a valid k-coloring.
With the rapid popularization of big data, the dichotomy between tractable and intractable problems in big data computing has been shifted. Sublinear time, rather than polynomial time, has recently been regarded as the new standard of…
Several recent results from dynamic and sublinear graph coloring are surveyed. This problem is widely studied and has motivating applications like network topology control, constraint satisfaction, and real-time resource scheduling. Graph…
We study the densest subgraph problem and its NP-hard densest at-most-$k$ subgraph variant through the lens of learning-augmented algorithms. We show that, given a reasonably accurate predictor that estimates whether a node belongs to the…
The subject of this paper is to study conformance checking for timed models, that is, process models that consider both the sequence of events in a process as well as the timestamps at which each event is recorded. Time-aware process mining…
Graph colouring is a fundamental problem for networks, serving as a tool for avoiding conflicts via symmetry breaking, for example, avoiding multiple computer processes simultaneously updating the same resource. This paper considers a…
Temporal graphs are a special class of graphs for which a temporal component is added to edges, that is, each edge possesses a set of times at which it is available and can be traversed. Many classical problems on graphs can be translated…

In this paper, we devise a scheme for kernelizing, in sublinear space and polynomial time, various problems on planar graphs. The scheme exploits planarity to ensure that the resulting algorithms run in polynomial time and use O((sqrt(n) +…
We report on a recent breakthrough in rule-based graph programming, which allows us to reach the time complexity of imperative linear-time algorithms. In general, achieving the complexity of graph algorithms in conventional languages using…
