Acting on time-critical events by processing ever growing social media or news streams is a major technical challenge. Many of these data sources can be modeled as multi-relational graphs. Continuous queries or techniques to search for rare events that typically arise in monitoring applications have been studied extensively for relational databases. This work is dedicated to answer the question that emerges naturally: how can we efficiently execute a continuous query on a dynamic graph? This paper presents an exact subgraph search algorithm that exploits the temporal characteristics of representative queries for online news or social media monitoring. The algorithm is based on a novel data structure called the Subgraph Join Tree (SJ-Tree) that leverages the structural and semantic characteristics of the underlying multi-relational graph. The paper concludes with extensive experimentation on several real-world datasets that demonstrates the validity of this approach.

Explaining why an answer is in the result of a query or why it is missing from the result is important for many applications including auditing, debugging data and queries, and answering hypothetical questions about data. Both types of questions, i.e., why and why-not provenance, have been studied extensively. In this work, we present the first practical approach for answering such questions for queries with negation (first-order queries). Our approach is based on a rewriting of Datalog rules (called firing rules) that captures successful rule derivations within the context of a Datalog query. We extend this rewriting to support negation and to capture failed derivations that explain missing answers. Given a (why or why-not) provenance question, we compute an explanation, i.e., the part of the provenance that is relevant to answer the question. We introduce optimizations that prune parts of a provenance graph early on if we can determine that they will not be part of the explanation for a given question. We present an implementation that runs on top of a relational database using SQL to compute explanations. Our experiments demonstrate that our approach scales to large instances and significantly outperforms an earlier approach which instantiates the full provenance to compute explanations.
Large-scale graph-structured data arising from social networks, databases, knowledge bases, web graphs, etc. is now available for analysis and mining. Graph-mining often involves relationship queries, which seek a ranked list of interesting interconnections among a given set of entities, corresponding to nodes in the graph. While relationship queries have been studied for many years, using various terminologies, e.g., keyword-search, Steiner-tree in a graph etc., the solutions proposed in the literature so far have not focused on scaling relationship queries to large graphs having billions of nodes and edges, such are now publicly available in the form of linked-open-data. In this paper, we present an algorithm for distributed keyword search (DKS) on large graphs, based on the graph-parallel computing paradigm Pregel. We also present an analytical proof that our algorithm produces an optimally ranked list of answers if run to completion. Even if terminated early, our algorithm produces approximate answers along with bounds. We describe an optimized implementation of our DKS algorithm along with time-complexity analysis. Finally, we report and analyze experiments using an implementation of DKS on Giraph the graph-parallel computing framework based on Pregel, and demonstrate that we can efficiently process relationship queries on large-scale subsets of linked-open-data.
Graphs are widely used to model data in many application domains. Thanks to the wide spread use of GPS-enabled devices, many applications assign a spatial attribute to graph vertices (e.g., geo-tagged social media). Users may issue a Reachability Query with Spatial Range Predicate (abbr. RangeReach). RangeReach finds whether an input vertex can reach any spatial vertex that lies within an input spatial range. An example of a RangeReach query is: Given a social graph, find whether Alice can reach any of the venues located within the geographical area of Arizona State University. The paper proposes GeoReach an approach that adds spatial data awareness to a graph database management system (GDBMS). GeoReach allows efficient execution of RangeReach queries, yet without compromising a lot on the overall system scalability (measured in terms of storage size and initialization/maintenance time). To achieve that, GeoReach is equipped with a light-weight data structure, namely SPA-Graph, that augments the underlying graph data with spatial indexing directories. When a RangeReach query is issued, the system employs a pruned-graph traversal approach. Experiments based on real system implementation inside Neo4j proves that GEOREACH exhibits up to two orders of magnitude better query response time and up to four times less storage than the state-of-the-art spatial and reachability indexing approaches.
Graph Attention Network (GAT) focuses on modelling simple undirected and single relational graph data only. This limits its ability to deal with more general and complex multi-relational graphs that contain entities with directed links of different labels (e.g., knowledge graphs). Therefore, directly applying GAT on multi-relational graphs leads to sub-optimal solutions. To tackle this issue, we propose r-GAT, a relational graph attention network to learn multi-channel entity representations. Specifically, each channel corresponds to a latent semantic aspect of an entity. This enables us to aggregate neighborhood information for the current aspect using relation features. We further propose a query-aware attention mechanism for subsequent tasks to select useful aspects. Extensive experiments on link prediction and entity classification tasks show that our r-GAT can model multi-relational graphs effectively. Also, we show the interpretability of our approach by case study.
Reachability query is a fundamental problem on graphs, which has been extensively studied in academia and industry. Since graphs are subject to frequent updates in many applications, it is essential to support efficient graph updates while offering good performance in reachability queries. Existing solutions compress the original graph with the Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) and propose efficient query processing and index update techniques. However, they focus on optimizing the scenarios where the Strong Connected Components(SCCs) remain unchanged and have overlooked the prohibitively high cost of the DAG maintenance when SCCs are updated. In this paper, we propose DBL, an efficient DAG-free index to support the reachability query on dynamic graphs with insertion-only updates. DBL builds on two complementary indexes: Dynamic Landmark (DL) label and Bidirectional Leaf (BL) label. The former leverages landmark nodes to quickly determine reachable pairs whereas the latter prunes unreachable pairs by indexing the leaf nodes in the graph. We evaluate DBL against the state-of-the-art approaches on dynamic reachability index with extensive experiments on real-world datasets. The results have demonstrated that DBL achieves orders of magnitude speedup in terms of index update, while still producing competitive query efficiency.
