Finding reliable subgraphs from large probabilistic graphs
Reliable subgraphs can be used, for example, to find and rank nontrivial links between given vertices, to concisely visualize large graphs, or to reduce the size of input for computationally demanding graph algorithms. We propose two new heuristics for solving the most reliable subgraph extraction problem on large, undirected probabilistic graphs. Such a problem is specified by a probabilistic graph G subject to random edge failures, a set of terminal vertices, and an integer K. The objective is to remove K edges from G such that the probability of connecting the terminals in the remaining subgraph is maximized. We provide some technical details and a rough analysis of the proposed algorithms. The practical performance of the methods is evaluated on real probabilistic graphs from the biological domain. The results indicate that the methods scale much better to large input graphs, both computationally and in terms of the quality of the result.Reliable subgraphs can be used, for example, to find and rank nontrivial links between given vertices, to concisely visualize large graphs, or to reduce the size of input for computationally demanding graph algorithms.

Mining Maximal Cliques from an Uncertain Graph
We consider mining dense substructures (maximal cliques) from an uncertain
graph, which is a probability distribution on a set of deterministic graphs.
For parameter 0 < {\alpha} < 1, we present a precise definition of an
{\alpha}-maximal clique in an uncertain graph. We present matching upper and
lower bounds on the number of {\alpha}-maximal cliques possible within an
uncertain graph. We present an algorithm to enumerate {\alpha}-maximal cliques
in an uncertain graph whose worst-case runtime is near-optimal, and an
experimental evaluation showing the practical utility of the algorithm.Comment: ICDE 201
Robust Subgraph Generation Improves Abstract Meaning Representation Parsing
The Abstract Meaning Representation (AMR) is a representation for open-domain
rich semantics, with potential use in fields like event extraction and machine
translation. Node generation, typically done using a simple dictionary lookup,
is currently an important limiting factor in AMR parsing. We propose a small
set of actions that derive AMR subgraphs by transformations on spans of text,
which allows for more robust learning of this stage. Our set of construction
actions generalize better than the previous approach, and can be learned with a
simple classifier. We improve on the previous state-of-the-art result for AMR
parsing, boosting end-to-end performance by 3 F on both the LDC2013E117 and
LDC2014T12 datasets.Comment: To appear in ACL 201
Subgraph Pattern Matching over Uncertain Graphs with Identity Linkage Uncertainty
There is a growing need for methods which can capture uncertainties and
answer queries over graph-structured data. Two common types of uncertainty are
uncertainty over the attribute values of nodes and uncertainty over the
existence of edges. In this paper, we combine those with identity uncertainty.
Identity uncertainty represents uncertainty over the mapping from objects
mentioned in the data, or references, to the underlying real-world entities. We
propose the notion of a probabilistic entity graph (PEG), a probabilistic graph
model that defines a distribution over possible graphs at the entity level. The
model takes into account node attribute uncertainty, edge existence
uncertainty, and identity uncertainty, and thus enables us to systematically
reason about all three types of uncertainties in a uniform manner. We introduce
a general framework for constructing a PEG given uncertain data at the
reference level and develop highly efficient algorithms to answer subgraph
pattern matching queries in this setting. Our algorithms are based on two novel
ideas: context-aware path indexing and reduction by join-candidates, which
drastically reduce the query search space. A comprehensive experimental
evaluation shows that our approach outperforms baseline implementations by
orders of magnitude
