We introduce a method to find network motifs in knowledge graphs. Network motifs are useful patterns or meaningful subunits of the graph that recur frequently. We extend the common definition of a network motif to coincide with a basic…

Network reconstruction is a well-developed sub-field of network science, but it has only recently been applied to production networks, where nodes are firms and edges represent customer-supplier relationships. We review the literature that…
