Let $G=(V,E)$ and $H$ be two graphs. Packing problem is to find in $G$ the largest number of independent subgraphs each of which is isomorphic to $H$. Let $U\subset{V}$. If the graph $G-U$ has no subgraph isomorphic to $H$, $U$ is a cover…
We introduce pygrank, an open source Python package to define, run and evaluate node ranking algorithms. We provide object-oriented and extensively unit-tested algorithm components, such as graph filters, post-processors, measures,…
We study the problem of reducing test-time acquisition costs in classification systems. Our goal is to learn decision rules that adaptively select sensors for each example as necessary to make a confident prediction. We model our system as…
Over the last decade, PageRank has gained importance in a wide range of applications and domains, ever since it first proved to be effective in determining node importance in large graphs (and was a pioneering idea behind Google's search…
This paper targets to a novel but practical recommendation problem named exact-K recommendation. It is different from traditional top-K recommendation, as it focuses more on (constrained) combinatorial optimization which will optimize to…
In this paper we study the problem of discovering a timeline of events in a temporal network. We model events as dense subgraphs that occur within intervals of network activity. We formulate the event-discovery task as an optimization…
A signed graph is a graph where each edge receives a sign, positive or negative. The signed graph model has been used in many real applications, such as protein complex discovery and social network analysis. Finding cohesive subgraphs in…
In this paper we study a property of time-dependent graphs, dubbed path ranking invariance. Broadly speaking, a time-dependent graph is path ranking invariant if the ordering of its paths (w.r.t. travel time) is independent of the start…
Given a large graph, the densest-subgraph problem asks to find a subgraph with maximum average degree. When considering the top-$k$ version of this problem, a na\"ive solution is to iteratively find the densest subgraph and remove it in…
We present a hybrid constraint-based/Bayesian algorithm for learning causal networks in the presence of sparse data. The algorithm searches the space of equivalence classes of models (essential graphs) using a heuristic based on…
We give an analog of the Myhill-Nerode methods from formal language theory for hypergraphs and use it to derive the following results for two NP-hard hypergraph problems: * We provide an algorithm for testing whether a hypergraph has…
We study ranked enumeration for Conjunctive Queries (CQs) where the answers are ordered by a given ranking function (e.g., an ORDER BY clause in SQL). We develop "any-k" algorithms, which, without knowing the number k of desired answers,…
Interactive graph search leverages human intelligence to categorize target labels in a hierarchy, which are useful for image classification, product categorization, and database search. However, many existing studies of interactive graph…
ELM (Extreme Learning Machine) is a single hidden layer feed-forward network, where the weights between input and hidden layer are initialized randomly. ELM is efficient due to its utilization of the analytical approach to compute weights…
Graph data is ubiquitous in academia and industry, from social networks to bioinformatics. The pervasiveness of graphs today has raised the demand for algorithms that can answer various questions: Which products would a user like to…
Retrieving the most similar objects in a large-scale database for a given query is a fundamental building block in many application domains, ranging from web searches, visual, cross media, and document retrievals. State-of-the-art…
Finding the node with the largest label in a network, modeled as an undirected connected graph, is one of the fundamental problems in distributed computing. This is the way in which $\textit{leader election}$ is usually solved. We consider…
Learning the unique directed acyclic graph corresponding to an unknown causal model is a challenging task. Methods based on functional causal models can identify a unique graph, but either suffer from the curse of dimensionality or impose…
Given a directed acyclic graph with labeled vertices, we consider the problem of finding the most common label sequences ("traces") among all paths in the graph (of some maximum length m). Since the number of paths can be huge, we propose…
Reachability and shortest path problems are NL-complete for general graphs. They are known to be in L for graphs of tree-width 2 [JT07]. However, for graphs of tree-width larger than 2, no bound better than NL is known. In this paper, we…
