A method for improving the efficiency of graph isomorphism testing is presented. The method uses the structure of the graph colored by vertex hash codes as a means of partitioning vertices into equivalence classes, which in turn reduces the…
Can we use machine learning to compress graph data? The absence of ordering in graphs poses a significant challenge to conventional compression algorithms, limiting their attainable gains as well as their ability to discover relevant…
We introduce a technique called graph fission which takes in a graph which potentially contains only one observation per node (whose distribution lies in a known class) and produces two (or more) independent graphs with the same node/edge…
Graph alignment - identifying node correspondences between two graphs - is a fundamental problem with applications in network analysis, biology, and privacy research. While substantial progress has been made in aligning correlated…
Symmetry breaking for graphs and other combinatorial objects is notoriously hard. On the one hand, complete symmetry breaks are exponential in size. On the other hand, current, state-of-the-art, partial symmetry breaks are often considered…
We consider the problem of testing graph cluster structure: given access to a graph $G=(V, E)$, can we quickly determine whether the graph can be partitioned into a few clusters with good inner conductance, or is far from any such graph?…
Distribution testing deals with what information can be deduced about an unknown distribution over $\{1,\ldots,n\}$, where the algorithm is only allowed to obtain a relatively small number of independent samples from the distribution. In…
Probabilistic graphical models offer a powerful framework to account for the dependence structure between variables, which is represented as a graph. However, the dependence between variables may render inference tasks intractable. In this…
Arboricity is a graph parameter akin to chromatic number, in that it seeks to partition the vertices into the smallest number of sparse subgraphs. Where for the chromatic number we are partitioning the vertices into independent sets, for…
Given a small random sample of $n$-bit strings labeled by an unknown Boolean function, which properties of this function can be tested computationally efficiently? We show an equivalence between properties that are efficiently testable from…
We consider general Gaussian latent tree models in which the observed variables are not restricted to be leaves of the tree. Extending related recent work, we give a full semi-algebraic description of the set of covariance matrices of any…
Tree search algorithms, such as branch-and-bound, are the most widely used tools for solving combinatorial and nonconvex problems. For example, they are the foremost method for solving (mixed) integer programs and constraint satisfaction…
Analysis of higher-order organizations, usually small connected subgraphs called motifs, is a fundamental task on complex networks. This paper studies a new problem of testing higher-order clusterability: given query access to an undirected…
Graph sampling is a technique to pick a subset of vertices and/ or edges from original graph. It has a wide spectrum of applications, e.g. survey hidden population in sociology [54], visualize social graph [29], scale down Internet AS graph…
We explore the concept of separating systems of vertex sets of graphs. A separating system of a set $X$ is a collection of subsets of $X$ such that for any pair of distinct elements in $X$, there exists a set in the separating system that…
Molecular property is usually observed with a limited number of samples, and researchers have considered property prediction as a few-shot problem. One important fact that has been ignored by prior works is that each molecule can be…
With the advent of social networks and the web, the graph sizes have grown too large to fit in main memory precipitating the need for alternative approaches for an efficient, scalable evaluation of queries on graphs of any size. Here, we…
We study separating systems of the edges of a graph where each member of the separating system is a path. We conjecture that every $n$-vertex graph admits a separating path system of size $O(n)$ and prove this in certain interesting special…
K-core decomposition is a commonly used metric to analyze graph structure or study the relative importance of nodes in complex graphs. Recent years have seen rapid growth in the scale of the graph, especially in industrial settings. For…
In the standard CONGEST model for distributed network computing, it is known that "global" tasks such as minimum spanning tree, diameter, and all-pairs shortest paths, consume large bandwidth, for their running-time is…
