In the last decade, algorithmic frameworks based on a structural graph parameter called mim-width have been developed to solve generally NP-hard problems. However, it is known that the frameworks cannot be applied to the Clique problem, and…
Many clustering problems enjoy solutions by semidefinite programming. Theoretical results in this vein frequently consider data with a planted clustering and a notion of signal strength such that the semidefinite program exactly recovers…
We present a prototype of a software tool for exploration of multiple combinatorial optimisation problems in large real-world and synthetic complex networks. Our tool, called GraphCombEx (an acronym of Graph Combinatorial Explorer),…
Finding large "cliquish" subgraphs is a classic NP-hard graph problem. In this work, we focus on finding maximum $s$-clubs and $s$-plexes, i.e., graphs of diameter $s$ and graphs where each vertex is adjacent to all but $s$ vertices.…
This article introduces a novel, geometric approach for multi-manifold clustering (MMC), i.e. for clustering a collection of potentially intersecting, d-dimensional manifolds into the individual manifold components. We first compute a…
An instance of the graph-constrained max-cut (GCMC) problem consists of (i) an undirected graph G and (ii) edge-weights on a complete undirected graph on the same vertex set. The objective is to find a subset of vertices satisfying some…
Mining cohesive subgraphs from a graph is a fundamental problem in graph data analysis. One notable cohesive structure is $\gamma$-quasi-clique (QC), where each vertex connects at least a fraction $\gamma$ of the other vertices inside.…

Summarizing large-scaled directed graphs into small-scale representations is a useful but less studied problem setting. Conventional clustering approaches, which based on "Min-Cut"-style criteria, compress both the vertices and edges of the…
In this paper, we study a number of well-known combinatorial optimization problems that fit in the following paradigm: the input is a collection of (potentially inconsistent) local relationships between the elements of a ground set (e.g.,…
Bipartite Correlation clustering is the problem of generating a set of disjoint bi-cliques on a set of nodes while minimizing the symmetric difference to a bipartite input graph. The number or size of the output clusters is not constrained…
In this paper, we focus on graph learning from multi-view data of shared entities for spectral clustering. We can explain interactions between the entities in multi-view data using a multi-layer graph with a common vertex set, which…
The minimum clique partition (MCP) problem is that of partitioning the vertex set of a given graph into a minimum number of cliques. Given $n$ points in the plane, the corresponding unit disk graph (UDG) has these points as vertices, and…
Multilayer graphs are appealing mathematical tools for modeling multiple types of relationship in the data. In this paper, we aim at analyzing multilayer graphs by properly combining the information provided by individual layers, while…
This work considers clustering nodes of a largely incomplete graph. Under the problem setting, only a small amount of queries about the edges can be made, but the entire graph is not observable. This problem finds applications in…
We study the following variant of the classic {\em bin packing} problem. Given a set of items of various sizes, partitioned into groups, find a packing of the items in a minimum number of identical (unit-size) bins, such that no two items…
Correlation Clustering is an elegant model that captures fundamental graph cut problems such as Min $s-t$ Cut, Multiway Cut, and Multicut, extensively studied in combinatorial optimization. Here, we are given a graph with edges labeled $+$…

The At-Most-One (AMO) constraint is a special case of cardinality constraint that requires at most one variable from a set of Boolean variables to be set to TRUE. AMO is important for modeling problems as Boolean satisfiability (SAT) from…
Many graph mining applications rely on detecting subgraphs which are near-cliques. There exists a dichotomy between the results in the existing work related to this problem: on the one hand the densest subgraph problem (DSP) which maximizes…
