The k-truss model is one of the most important models in cohesive subgraph analysis. The k-truss decomposition problem is to compute the trussness of each edge in a given graph, and has been extensively studied. However, the conventional…

Reverse k nearest neighbor (RkNN) queries are fundamental in spatial databases, location-based analytics, and recommendation systems. Existing state-of-the-art techniques rely on spatial pruning supported by R-trees and their variants.…

Neural embedding models are extensively employed in the table union search problem, which aims to find semantically compatible tables that can be merged with a given query table. In particular, multi-vector models, which represent a table…

Approximate nearest neighbor (ANN) search in high-dimensional metric spaces is a fundamental problem with many applications. Over the past decade, proximity graph (PG)-based indexes have demonstrated superior empirical performance over…

Community search is a personalized community discovery problem aimed at finding densely-connected subgraphs containing the query vertex. In particular, the search for communities with high-importance vertices has recently received a great…

Nearest Neighbor Search (NNS) is a central task in knowledge representation, learning, and reasoning. There is vast literature on efficient algorithms for constructing data structures and performing exact and approximate NNS. This paper…

Graph data management and querying has many practical applications. When graphs are very heterogeneous and/or users are unfamiliar with their structure, they may need to find how two or more groups of nodes are connected in a graph, even…

Centrality metrics are among the main tools in social network analysis. Being central for a user of a network leads to several benefits to the user: central users are highly influential and play key roles within the network. Therefore, the…

Learned dense representations are a popular family of techniques for encoding queries and documents using high-dimensional embeddings, which enable retrieval by performing approximate k nearest-neighbors search (A-kNN). A popular technique…

We study the problem of extracting a selective connector for a given set of query vertices $Q \subseteq V$ in a graph $G = (V,E)$. A selective connector is a subgraph of $G$ which exhibits some cohesiveness property, and contains the query…

The notion of degree-constrained spanning hierarchies, also called k-trails, was recently introduced in the context of network routing problems. They describe graphs that are homomorphic images of connected graphs of degree at most k. First…

Community detection aims to reveal the community structure in a social network, which is one of the fundamental problems. In this paper we investigate the community detection problem based on the concept of terminal set. A terminal set is a…

K-nearest neighbor search is one of the fundamental tasks in various applications and the hierarchical navigable small world (HNSW) has recently drawn attention in large-scale cloud services, as it easily scales up the database while…

We consider the fundamental problem of decomposing a large-scale approximate nearest neighbor search (ANNS) problem into smaller sub-problems. The goal is to partition the input points into neighborhood-preserving shards, so that the…

The joint use of node features and network topology to detect communities is called community detection in attributed networks. Most of the existing work along this line has been carried out through objective function optimization and has…

Approximate nearest neighbor search (ANNS) in high-dimensional spaces is a pivotal challenge in the field of machine learning. In recent years, graph-based methods have emerged as the superior approach to ANNS, establishing a new state of…

We present improved approximation algorithms for some problems in the related areas of Capacitated Network Design and Flexible Graph Connectivity. In the Cap-$k$-ECSS problem, we are given a graph $G=(V,E)$ whose edges have non-negative…

$k$-core is a subgraph where every node has at least $k$ neighbors within the subgraph. The $k$-core subgraphs has been employed in large platforms like Network Repository to comprehend the underlying structures and dynamics of the network.…

Guiding users to actively expanding their online social circles is one of the primary strategies for enhancing user participation and growing online social networks. In this paper, we study the active friending problem which aims at…

The objective of this paper is to propose a framework, called Rough Clustering-based Consensus Community Detection (RC-CCD), to effectively address the challenge of identifying community structures in complex networks from a set of…
