We propose a new exact method for shortest-path distance queries on large-scale networks. Our method precomputes distance labels for vertices by performing a breadth-first search from every vertex. Seemingly too obvious and too inefficient…

Learning to predict properties of large graphs is challenging because each prediction requires the knowledge of an entire graph, while the amount of memory available during training is bounded. Here we propose Graph Segment Training (GST),…

We present an additive $\varepsilon n^{2}$-approximation algorithm for the Graph Edit Distance problem (GED) on graphs of VC dimension $d$ running in time $n^{O(d/\varepsilon^{2})}$. In particular, this recovers a previous result by Arora,…

An edge-operation on a graph $G$ is defined to be either the deletion of an existing edge or the addition of a nonexisting edge. Given a family of graphs $\mathcal{G}$, the editing distance from $G$ to $\mathcal{G}$ is the smallest number…
