Provenance sketches, light-weight indexes that record what data is needed (is relevant) for answering a query, can significantly improve performance of important classes of queries (e.g., HAVING and top-k queries). Given a horizontal…
Betweenness centrality---measuring how many shortest paths pass through a vertex---is one of the most important network analysis concepts for assessing the relative importance of a vertex. The well-known algorithm of Brandes [J. Math.…
We develop a framework for algorithms finding the diameter in graphs of bounded distance Vapnik-Chervonenkis dimension, in (parameterized) subquadratic time complexity. The class of bounded distance VC-dimension graphs is wide, including,…
Finding a minimum vertex cover in a network is a fundamental NP-complete graph problem. One way to deal with its computational hardness, is to trade the qualitative performance of an algorithm (allowing non-optimal outputs) for an improved…
Computing maximum weight independent sets in graphs is an important NP-hard optimization problem. The problem is particularly difficult to solve in large graphs for which data reduction techniques do not work well. To be more precise,…
We give the first constant-factor approximation algorithm for Sparsest Cut with general demands in bounded treewidth graphs. In contrast to previous algorithms, which rely on the flow-cut gap and/or metric embeddings, our approach exploits…
In this paper, we present a novel approach based on the random walk process for finding meaningful representations of a graph model. Our approach leverages the transient behavior of many short random walks with novel initialization…
We prove that the treewidth of an Erd\"{o}s-R\'{e}nyi random graph $\rg{n, m}$ is, with high probability, greater than $\beta n$ for some constant $\beta > 0$ if the edge/vertex ratio $\frac{m}{n}$ is greater than 1.073. Our lower bound…
Landmarks have long played a pivotal role in automated planning, serving as crucial elements for improving the planning algorithms. The main limitation of classical landmark extraction methods is their sensitivity to specific planning…
The graph edit distance is an intuitive measure to quantify the dissimilarity of graphs, but its computation is NP-hard and challenging in practice. We introduce methods for answering nearest neighbor and range queries regarding this…
The NP-hard Odd Cycle Transversal problem asks for a minimum vertex set whose removal from an undirected input graph $G$ breaks all odd cycles, and thereby yields a bipartite graph. The problem is well-known to be fixed-parameter tractable…
We propose a consistent approach to the statistics of the shortest paths in random graphs with a given degree distribution. This approach goes further than a usual tree ansatz and rigorously accounts for loops in a network. We calculate the…
The average distance from a node to all other nodes in a graph, or from a query point in a metric space to a set of points, is a fundamental quantity in data analysis. The inverse of the average distance, known as the (classic) closeness…
In the presented paper we study the Length-Bounded Cut problem for special graph classes as well as from a parameterized-complexity viewpoint. Here, we are given a graph $G$, two vertices $s$ and $t$, and positive integers $\beta$ and…
It is a critical issue to compute the shortest paths between nodes in networks. Exact algorithms for shortest paths are usually inapplicable for large scale networks due to the high computational complexity. In this paper, we propose a…
The problem of unsupervised learning node embeddings in graphs is one of the important directions in modern network science. In this work we propose a novel framework, which is aimed to find embeddings by \textit{discriminating…
We present a new fast all-pairs shortest path algorithm for unweighted graphs. In breadth-first search which is said to representative and fast in unweighted graphs, the average number of accesses to adjacent vertices (expressed by…
We improve the running time of the general algorithmic technique known as Baker's approach (1994) on H-minor-free graphs from O(n^{f(|H|)}) to O(f(|H|) n^{O(1)}). The numerous applications include e.g. a 2-approximation for coloring and…
Graph alignment aims at finding the vertex correspondence between two correlated graphs, a task that frequently occurs in graph mining applications such as social network analysis. Attributed graph alignment is a variant of graph alignment,…
Real-world networks are often complex and large with millions of nodes, posing a great challenge for analysts to quickly see the big picture for more productive subsequent analysis. We aim at facilitating exploration of node-attributed…
