The 1-median problem (1MP) on undirected weighted graphs seeks to find a facility location minimizing the total weighted distance to all customer nodes. Although the 1MP can be solved exactly by computing the single-source shortest paths…
Graph learning is often a necessary step in processing or representing structured data, when the underlying graph is not given explicitly. Graph learning is generally performed centrally with a full knowledge of the graph signals, namely…

Query workloads and database schemas in OLAP applications are becoming increasingly complex. Moreover, the queries and the schemas have to continually \textit{evolve} to address business requirements. During such repetitive transitions, the…
Finding a location for a new facility such that the facility attracts the maximal number of customers is a challenging problem. Existing studies either model customers as static sites and thus do not consider customer movement, or they…

The problem of enumerating all connected induced subgraphs of a given order $k$ from a given graph arises in many practical applications: bioinformatics, information retrieval, processor design,to name a few. The upper bound on the number…
We revisit once more the problem of designing an oracle for answering connectivity queries in undirected graphs in the presence of vertex failures. Specifically, given an undirected graph $G$ with $n$ vertices and $m$ edges and an integer…
The girth of a graph is the length of its shortest cycle. Due to its relevance in graph theory, network analysis and practical fields such as distributed computing, girth-related problems have been object of attention in both past and…
Topological correctness plays a critical role in many image segmentation tasks, yet most networks are trained using pixel-wise loss functions, such as Dice, neglecting topological accuracy. Existing topology-aware methods often lack robust…
We study the hop-constrained s-t path enumeration (HcPE) problem, which takes a graph $G$, two distinct vertices $s,t$ and a hop constraint $k$ as input, and outputs all paths from $s$ to $t$ whose length is at most $k$. The…
We present new and improved data structures that answer exact node-to-node distance queries in planar graphs. Such data structures are also known as distance oracles. For any directed planar graph on n nodes with non-negative lengths we…
