A graph G'(V,E') is an \eps-sparsification of G for some \eps>0, if every (weighted) cut in G' is within (1\pm \eps) of the corresponding cut in G. A celebrated result of Benczur and Karger shows that for every undirected graph G, an…

The number of triangles (hereafter denoted by $\Delta$) is an important metric to analyze massive graphs. It is also used to compute clustering coefficient in networks. This paper proposes a new algorithm called PES (Priority Edge Sampling)…

We propose data-driven one-pass streaming algorithms for estimating the number of triangles and four cycles, two fundamental problems in graph analytics that are widely studied in the graph data stream literature. Recently, (Hsu 2018) and…

Sampling edges from a graph in sublinear time is a fundamental problem and a powerful subroutine for designing sublinear-time algorithms. Suppose we have access to the vertices of the graph and know a constant-factor approximation to the…

If we cannot store all edges in a graph stream, which edges should we store to estimate the triangle count accurately? Counting triangles (i.e., cycles of length three) is a fundamental graph problem with many applications in social network…

A graph stream is a continuous sequence of data items, in which each item indicates an edge, including its two endpoints and edge weight. It forms a dynamic graph that changes with every item in the stream. Graph streams play important…

For edge coloring, the online and the W-streaming models seem somewhat orthogonal: the former needs edges to be assigned colors immediately after insertion, typically without any space restrictions, while the latter limits memory to…

We study the problem of coloring a given graph using a small number of colors in several well-established models of computation for big data. These include the data streaming model, the general graph query model, the massively parallel…

Truss decomposition is a method used to analyze large sparse graphs in order to identify successively better connected subgraphs. Since in many domains the underlying graph changes over time, its associated truss decomposition needs to be…

Given an undirected edge-weighted graph $G=(V,E)$ with $m$ edges and $n$ vertices, the minimum cut problem asks to find a subset of vertices $S$ such that the total weight of all edges between $S$ and $V \setminus S$ is minimized. Karger's…

Given an undirected graph $G=(V,E)$ on $n$ vertices, $m$ edges, and an integer $t\ge 1$, a subgraph $(V,E_S)$, $E_S\subseteq E$ is called a $t$-spanner if for any pair of vertices $u,v \in V$, the distance between them in the subgraph is at…

We propose Graph Priority Sampling (GPS), a new paradigm for order-based reservoir sampling from massive streams of graph edges. GPS provides a general way to weight edge sampling according to auxiliary and/or size variables so as to…

While in many graph mining applications it is crucial to handle a stream of updates efficiently in terms of {\em both} time and space, not much was known about achieving such type of algorithm. In this paper we study this issue for a…

A $k$-truss is an edge-induced subgraph $H$ such that each of its edges belongs to at least $k-2$ triangles of $H$. This notion has been introduced around ten years ago in social network analysis and security, as a form of cohesive subgraph…

We study graph computations in an enhanced data streaming setting, where a space-bounded client reading the edge stream of a massive graph may delegate some of its work to a cloud service. We seek algorithms that allow the client to verify…

In this paper, we present a new algorithm for maintaining linear sketches in turnstile streams with faster update time. As an application, we show that $\log n$ \texttt{Count} sketches or \texttt{CountMin} sketches with a constant number of…

In this paper, we design sub-linear space streaming algorithms for estimating three fundamental parameters -- maximum independent set, minimum dominating set and maximum matching -- on sparse graph classes, i.e., graphs which satisfy…

We develop a new algorithmic technique that allows to transfer some constant time approximation algorithms for general graphs into random order streaming algorithms. We illustrate our technique by proving that in random order streams with…

In this paper we study graph problems in dynamic streaming model, where the input is defined by a sequence of edge insertions and deletions. As many natural problems require $\Omega(n)$ space, where $n$ is the number of vertices, existing…
