CS595D - Graph Mining, Weekly Seminar

Abstract: Graph mining and network analytics is critical to a variety of application domains, ranging from community detection in social networks, malicious program analysis in computer security, to searches for functional modules in biological pathways and structural analysis in chemical compounds. There is an emerging need to systematically investigate the modeling, managing, and mining of large-scale graphs and networks in bioinformatics, social networks, and computer systems. In this seminar, we are going to discuss the state-of-the-art research results and identify potential topics for graduate research in graph mining.
