Given a fixed graph $H$ and a constant $c \in [0,1]$, we can ask what graphs $G$ with edge density $c$ asymptotically maximize the homomorphism density of $H$ in $G$. For all $H$ for which this problem has been solved, the maximum is always…
A clique in an undirected graph G= (V, E) is a subset V' V of vertices, each pair of which is connected by an edge in E. The clique problem is an optimization problem of finding a clique of maximum size in graph. The clique problem is…
Finding large "cliquish" subgraphs is a central topic in graph mining and community detection. A popular clique relaxation are 2-clubs: instead of asking for subgraphs of diameter one (these are cliques), one asks for subgraphs of diameter…
Streaming graphs are drawing increasing attention in both academic and industrial communities as many graphs in real applications evolve over time. Continuous subgraph matching (shorted as CSM) aims to report the incremental matches of a…
As a model problem for clustering, we consider the densest k-disjoint-clique problem of partitioning a weighted complete graph into k disjoint subgraphs such that the sum of the densities of these subgraphs is maximized. We establish that…
We present an efficient algorithm for the min-max correlation clustering problem. The input is a complete graph where edges are labeled as either positive $(+)$ or negative $(-)$, and the objective is to find a clustering that minimizes the…

Approximate Nearest Neighbor Search with arbitrary filtering predicates (AFANNS) is essential for modern data applications, yet existing methods often incur substantial storage and computational costs. In this work, we introduce the Maximal…
Nucleus decompositions have been shown to be a useful tool for finding dense subgraphs. The coreness value of a clique represents its density based on the number of other cliques it is adjacent to. One useful output of nucleus decomposition…
A hypergraph spectral sparsifier of a hypergraph $G$ is a weighted subgraph $H$ that approximates the Laplacian of $G$ to a specified precision. Recent work has shown that similar to ordinary graphs, there exist $\widetilde{O}(n)$-size…
We present randomized algorithms that compute $(1+\epsilon)$-approximate minimum global edge and vertex cuts in weighted directed graphs in $O(\log^4(n) / \epsilon)$ and $O(\log^5(n)/\epsilon)$ single-commodity flows, respectively. With the…
In this paper, we investigate the problem of (k,r)-core which intends to find cohesive subgraphs on social networks considering both user engagement and similarity perspectives. In particular, we adopt the popular concept of k-core to…
Listing all k-cliques is a fundamental problem in graph mining, with applications in finance, biology, and social network analysis. However, owing to the exponential growth of the search space as k increases, listing all k-cliques is…
An instance of the Connected Maximum Cut problem consists of an undirected graph G = (V, E) and the goal is to find a subset of vertices S $\subseteq$ V that maximizes the number of edges in the cut \delta(S) such that the induced graph…
Spectral partitioning is a simple, nearly-linear time, algorithm to find sparse cuts, and the Cheeger inequalities provide a worst-case guarantee for the quality of the approximation found by the algorithm. Local graph partitioning…
Listing k-cliques plays a fundamental role in various data mining tasks, such as community detection and mining of cohesive substructures. Existing algorithms for the k-clique listing problem are built upon a general framework, which finds…
Given a similarity graph between items, correlation clustering (CC) groups similar items together and dissimilar ones apart. One of the most popular CC algorithms is KwikCluster: an algorithm that serially clusters neighborhoods of…
Subgraph isomorphism is a well-known NP-hard problem that is widely used in many applications, such as social network analysis and query over the knowledge graph. Due to the inherent hardness, its performance is often a bottleneck in…
Quasi-median graphs are a tool commonly used by evolutionary biologists to visualise the evolution of molecular sequences. As with any graph, a quasi-median graph can contain cut vertices, that is, vertices whose removal disconnect the…
