The ability to efficiently find relevant subgraphs and paths in a large graph to a given query is important in many applications including scientific data analysis, social networks, and business intelligence. Currently, there is little…

We propose a novel database model whose basic structure is a labeled, directed, acyclic graph with a single root, in which the nodes represent the data sets of an application and the edges represent functional relationships among the data…

Graphs are foundational across domains but remain hard to use without deep expertise. LLMs promise accessible natural language (NL) graph analytics, yet they fail to process industry-scale property graphs effectively and efficiently: such…

The landscape of web APIs is evolving to meet new client requirements and to facilitate how providers fulfill them. A recent web API model is GraphQL, which is both a query language and a runtime. Using GraphQL, client queries express the…

GraphQL is a query language for APIs and a runtime for executing those queries, fetching the requested data from existing microservices, REST APIs, databases, or other sources. Its expressiveness and its flexibility have made it an…

Graph analysis is fundamental in real-world applications. Traditional approaches rely on SPARQL-like languages or clicking-and-dragging interfaces to interact with graph data. However, these methods either require users to possess high…
