On the Enumeration of all Minimal Triangulations
We present an algorithm that enumerates all the minimal triangulations of a
graph in incremental polynomial time. Consequently, we get an algorithm for
enumerating all the proper tree decompositions, in incremental polynomial time,
where "proper" means that the tree decomposition cannot be improved by removing
or splitting a bag
Shared-Memory Parallel Maximal Clique Enumeration
We present shared-memory parallel methods for Maximal Clique Enumeration
(MCE) from a graph. MCE is a fundamental and well-studied graph analytics task,
and is a widely used primitive for identifying dense structures in a graph. Due
to its computationally intensive nature, parallel methods are imperative for
dealing with large graphs. However, surprisingly, there do not yet exist
scalable and parallel methods for MCE on a shared-memory parallel machine. In
this work, we present efficient shared-memory parallel algorithms for MCE, with
the following properties: (1) the parallel algorithms are provably
work-efficient relative to a state-of-the-art sequential algorithm (2) the
algorithms have a provably small parallel depth, showing that they can scale to
a large number of processors, and (3) our implementations on a multicore
machine shows a good speedup and scaling behavior with increasing number of
cores, and are substantially faster than prior shared-memory parallel
algorithms for MCE.Comment: 10 pages, 3 figures, proceedings of the 25th IEEE International

Enumerating Maximal Bicliques from a Large Graph using MapReduce
We consider the enumeration of maximal bipartite cliques (bicliques) from a
large graph, a task central to many practical data mining problems in social
network analysis and bioinformatics. We present novel parallel algorithms for
the MapReduce platform, and an experimental evaluation using Hadoop MapReduce.
Our algorithm is based on clustering the input graph into smaller sized
subgraphs, followed by processing different subgraphs in parallel. Our
algorithm uses two ideas that enable it to scale to large graphs: (1) the
redundancy in work between different subgraph explorations is minimized through
a careful pruning of the search space, and (2) the load on different reducers
is balanced through the use of an appropriate total order among the vertices.
Our evaluation shows that the algorithm scales to large graphs with millions of
edges and tens of mil- lions of maximal bicliques. To our knowledge, this is
the first work on maximal biclique enumeration for graphs of this scale.Comment: A preliminary version of the paper was accepted at the Proceedings of
