We demonstrate that a graph-based search algorithm-relying on the construction of an approximate neighborhood graph-can directly work with challenging non-metric and/or non-symmetric distances without resorting to metric-space mapping…

Evaluating graphs learned by causal discovery algorithms is difficult: The number of edges that differ between two graphs does not reflect how the graphs differ with respect to the identifying formulas they suggest for causal effects. We…

We study a well known noisy model of the graph isomorphism problem. In this model, the goal is to perfectly recover the vertex correspondence between two edge-correlated Erd\H{o}s-R\'{e}nyi random graphs, with an initial seed set of…

We consider the graph similarity computation (GSC) task based on graph edit distance (GED) estimation. State-of-the-art methods treat GSC as a learning-based prediction task using Graph Neural Networks (GNNs). To capture fine-grained…

Graph-based semi-supervised learning usually involves two separate stages, constructing an affinity graph and then propagating labels for transductive inference on the graph. It is suboptimal to solve them independently, as the correlation…

Graph matching is the process of computing the similarity between two graphs. Depending on the requirement, it can be exact or inexact. Exact graph matching requires a strict correspondence between nodes of two graphs, whereas inexact…
