Recent years have witnessed the emerging success of graph neural networks (GNNs) for modeling structured data. However, most GNNs are designed for homogeneous graphs, in which all nodes and edges belong to the same types, making them…
The degree centrality of a node, defined as the number of nodes adjacent to it, is often used as a measure of importance of a node to the structure of a network. This metric can be extended to paths in a network, where the degree centrality…
We give a simple algorithm for the dynamic approximate All-Pairs Shortest Paths (APSP) problem. Given a graph $G = (V, E, l)$ with polynomially bounded edge lengths, our data structure processes $|E|$ edge insertions and deletions in total…

A coreset for a set of points is a small subset of weighted points that approximately preserves important properties of the original set. Specifically, if $P$ is a set of points, $Q$ is a set of queries, and $f:P\times Q\to\mathbb{R}$ is a…
Spanners are fundamental graph structures that sparsify graphs at the cost of small stretch. In particular, in recent years, many sequential algorithms constructing additive all-pairs spanners were designed, providing very sparse…
As large graph datasets become increasingly common across many fields, sampling is often needed to reduce the graphs into manageable sizes. This procedure raises critical questions about representativeness as no sample can capture the…
Network design problems aim to compute low-cost structures such as routes, trees and subgraphs. Often, it is natural and desirable to require that these structures have small hop length or hop diameter. Unfortunately, optimization problems…
In this paper, we study the single-source shortest-path (SSSP) problem with positive edge weights, which is a notoriously hard problem in the parallel context. In practice, the $\Delta$-stepping algorithm proposed by Meyer and Sanders has…
We propose MetroSets, a new, flexible online tool for visualizing set systems using the metro map metaphor. We model a given set system as a hypergraph $\mathcal{H} = (V, \mathcal{S})$, consisting of a set $V$ of vertices and a set…
Consider networks on $n$ vertices at average density 1 per unit area. We seek a network that minimizes total length subject to some constraint on journey times, averaged over source-destination pairs. Suppose journey times depend on both…
