We present the first streaming algorithm for counting an arbitrary hypergraph $H$ of constant size in a massive hypergraph $G$. Our algorithm can handle both edge-insertions and edge-deletions, and is applicable for the distributed setting.…
As networks continue to increase in size, current methods must be capable of handling large numbers of nodes and edges in order to be practically relevant. Instead of working directly with the entire (large) network, analyzing sub-networks…
The challenges of graph stream algorithms are twofold. First, each edge needs to be processed only once, and second, it needs to work on highly constrained memory. Diffusion degree is a measure of node centrality that can be calculated (for…
Many online networks are measured and studied via sampling techniques, which typically collect a relatively small fraction of nodes and their associated edges. Past work in this area has primarily focused on obtaining a representative…
