A Bayesian Method for Matching Two Similar Graphs without Seeds

Approximate graph matching (AGM) refers to the problem of mapping the vertices of two structurally similar graphs, which has applications in social networks, computer vision, chemistry, and biology. Given its computational cost, AGM has mostly been limited ...

Densification Arising from Sampling Fixed Graphs

Matthias Grossglauser, Pedram Pedarsani

During the past decade, a number of different studies have identified several peculiar properties of networks that arise from a diverse universe, ranging from social to computer networks. A recently observed feature is known as network densification, which ...
