Mining Dense Subgraphs with Similar Edges
G. Preti, S. Y. Velegraki · Iris (University of Trento) · 2021
When searching for interesting structures in graphs, it is often important to take into account not only the graph connectivity, but also the metadata available, such as node and edge labels, or temporal information. In this paper we are interested in settings where such metadata is used to define a similarity between edges. We consider the problem of finding subgraphs that are dense and whose edges are similar to each other with respect to a given similarity function. Depending on the application, this function can be, for example, the Jaccard similarity between the edge label sets, or the temporal correlation of the edge occurrences in a temporal graph.
