Network sampling is an indispensable tool for understanding features of large complex networks where it is practically impossible to search over the entire graph. In this paper, we develop a framework for statistical inference for counting…
Due to the limited resources and the scale of the graphs in modern datasets, we often get to observe a sampled subgraph of a larger original graph of interest, whether it is the worldwide web that has been crawled or social connections that…
The problems studied in this article originate from the Graph Motif problem introduced by Lacroix et al. in the context of biological networks. The problem is to decide if a vertex-colored graph has a connected subgraph whose colors equal a…
We study the time complexity of induced subgraph isomorphism problems where the pattern graph is fixed. The earliest known example of an improvement over trivial algorithms is by Itai and Rodeh (1978) who sped up triangle detection in…
Studying the topology of so-called {\em real networks}, that is networks obtained from sociological or biological data for instance, has become a major field of interest in the last decade. One way to deal with it is to consider that…
Subgraph counting is a fundamental primitive in graph processing, with applications in social network analysis (e.g., estimating the clustering coefficient of a graph), database processing and other areas. The space complexity of subgraph…
Estimating the frequency of sub-graphs is of importance for many tasks, including sub-graph isomorphism, kernel-based anomaly detection, and network structure analysis. While multiple algorithms were proposed for full enumeration or…

Graphlets are small connected induced subgraphs of a larger graph $G$. Graphlets are now commonly used to quantify local and global topology of networks in the field. Methods exist to exhaustively enumerate all graphlets (and their orbits)…
Dense regions in networks are an indicator of interesting and unusual information. However, most existing methods only consider simple, undirected, unweighted networks. Complex networks in the real-world often have rich information though:…
A time series motif intuitively is a short time series that repeats itself approximately the same within a larger time series. Such motifs often represent concealed structures, such as heart beats in an ECG recording, the riff in a pop…
Counting triangles in a graph and incident to each vertex is a fundamental and frequently considered task of graph analysis. We consider how to efficiently do this for huge graphs using massively parallel distributed-memory machines.…
Community detection is a central task in graph analytics. Given the substantial growth in graph size, scalability in community detection continues to be an unresolved challenge. Recently, alongside established methods like Louvain and…

The minimal number of nodes required to multilaterate a network endowed with geodesic distance (i.e., to uniquely identify all nodes based on shortest path distances to the selected nodes) is called its metric dimension. This quantity is…
Subgraph counting aims to count the number of occurrences of a subgraph T (aka as a template) in a given graph G. The basic problem has found applications in diverse domains. The problem is known to be computationally challenging - the…
Applied researchers often construct a network from a random sample of nodes in order to infer properties of the parent network. Two of the most widely used sampling schemes are subgraph sampling, where we sample each vertex independently…
The structure of the network can be described by motifs, which are subgraphs that often repeat themselves. In order to understand the structure of network motifs, it is of great importance to study subgraphs from the perspective of…
Connectivity (or equivalently, unweighted maximum flow) is an important measure in graph theory and combinatorial optimization. Given a graph $G$ with vertices $s$ and $t$, the connectivity $\lambda(s,t)$ from $s$ to $t$ is defined to be…
Investigating the frequency and distribution of small subgraphs with a few nodes/edges, i.e., motifs, is an effective analysis method for static networks. Motif-driven analysis is also useful for temporal networks where the spectrum of…
