Hypergraphs serve as a powerful tool for modeling complex relationships across domains like social networks, transactions, and recommendation systems. The (k,g)-core model effectively identifies cohesive subgraphs by assessing internal…
The statistical significance of network properties is conditioned on null models which satisfy spec- ified properties but that are otherwise random. Exponential random graph models are a principled theoretical framework to generate such…
In the last decade, network science has shed new light both on the structural (anatomical) and on the functional (correlations in the activity) connectivity among the different areas of the human brain. The analysis of brain networks has…
In this paper we consider the fundamental problem of finding subgraphs in highly dynamic distributed networks - networks which allow an arbitrary number of links to be inserted / deleted per round. We show that the problems of $k$-clique…
The problems studied in this paper originate from Graph Motif, a problem introduced in 2006 in the context of biological networks. Informally speaking, it consists in deciding if a multiset of colors occurs in a connected subgraph of a…
We tackle the problem of counting the number of $k$-cliques in large-scale graphs, for any constant $k \ge 3$. Clique counting is essential in a variety of applications, among which social network analysis. Due to its computationally…
Hidden community is a useful concept proposed recently for social network analysis. To handle the rapid growth of network scale, in this work, we explore the detection of hidden communities from the local perspective, and propose a new…
Triangle counting is an important problem in graph mining. Clustering coefficients of vertices and the transitivity ratio of the graph are two metrics often used in complex network analysis. Furthermore, triangles have been used…
Tenuous subgraph finding aims to detect a subgraph with few social interactions and weak relationships among nodes. Despite significant efforts have been made on this task, they are mostly carried out in view of graph-structured data. These…

Discrete dynamic models are a powerful tool for the understanding and modeling of large biological networks. Although a lot of progress has been made in developing analysis tools for these models, there is still a need to find approaches…
With the emergence of graph databases, the task of frequent subgraph discovery has been extensively addressed. Although the proposed approaches in the literature have made this task feasible, the number of discovered frequent subgraphs is…
We study the following problem: given an integer $k \ge 3$ and a simple graph $G$, sample a connected induced $k$-node subgraph of $G$ uniformly at random. This is a fundamental graph mining primitive with applications in social network…
Subgraphs such as cliques, loops and stars form crucial connections in the topologies of real-world networks. Random graph models provide estimates for how often certain subgraphs appear, which in turn can be tested against real-world…
Counting instances of specific subgraphs in a larger graph is an important problem in graph mining. Finding cliques of size k (k-cliques) is one example of this NP-hard problem. Different algorithms for clique counting avoid counting the…
Bipartite graphs are ubiquitous in many domains, e.g., e-commerce platforms, social networks, and academia, by modeling interactions between distinct entity sets. Within these graphs, the butterfly motif, a complete 2*2 biclique, represents…
Network motifs are characteristic patterns which occur in the networks essentially more frequently than the other patterns. For five motifs found in S. Itzkovitz, U. Alon, Phys. Rev.~E, 2005, 71, 026117-1, hierarchical random graphs are…
Motifs, which have been established as building blocks for network structure, move beyond pair-wise connections to capture longer-range correlations in connections and activity. In spite of this, there are few generative graph models that…
Triangle counting is a fundamental graph analytic operation that is used extensively in network science and graph mining. As the size of the graphs that needs to be analyzed continues to grow, there is a requirement in developing scalable…
In a graph, a community may be loosely defined as a group of nodes that are more closely connected to one another than to the rest of the graph. While there are a variety of metrics that can be used to specify the quality of a given…
