Subgraph isomorphism, also known as subgraph matching, is typically regarded as an NP-complete problem. This complexity is further compounded in practical applications where edge weights are real-valued and may be affected by measurement…

Within network analysis, the analytical maximum entropy framework has been very successful for different tasks as network reconstruction and filtering. In a recent paper, the same framework was used for link-prediction for monopartite…

Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) are a powerful representational tool for solving problems on graph-structured inputs. In almost all cases so far, however, they have been applied to directly recovering a final solution from raw inputs, without…

We consider the problem of searching for an unknown target vertex $t$ in a (possibly edge-weighted) graph. Each \emph{vertex-query} points to a vertex $v$ and the response either admits $v$ is the target or provides any neighbor $s\not=v$…
