Summarizing static and dynamic big graphs
Open accessAbstract
Large-scale, highly-interconnected networks pervade our society and the natural world around us, including the World Wide Web, social networks, knowledge graphs, genome and scientific databases, medical and government records. The massive scale of graph data often surpasses the available computation and storage resources. Besides, users get overwhelmed by the daunting task of understanding and using such graphs due to their sheer volume and complexity. Hence, there is a critical need to summarize large graphs into concise forms that can be more easily visualized, processed, and managed. Graph summarization has indeed attracted a lot of interests from various research communities, such as sociology, physics, chemistry, bioinformatics, and computer science. Different ways of summarizing graphs have been invented that are often complementary to each other. In this tutorial, we discuss algorithmic advances on graph summarization in the context of both classical (e.g., static graphs) and emerging (e.g., dynamic and stream graphs) applications. We emphasize the current challenges and highlight some future research directions.

For large-scale graphs, exponential growth in the number of nodes, edges, and paths significantly complicates retrieval.
“However, for large-scale graphs, the exponential growth in the number of nodes, edges, and paths significantly complicates the retrieval [23, 53, 54, 67].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
