Graphs are fundamental data structures and have been employed for centuries to model real-world systems and phenomena. Random walk with restart (RWR) provides a good proximity score between two nodes in a graph, and it has been successfully used in many applications such as automatic image captioning, recommender systems, and link prediction. The goal of this work is to find nodes that have top-k highest proximities for a given node. Previous approaches to this problem find nodes efficiently at the expense of exactness. The main motivation of this paper is to answer, in the affirmative, the question, `Is it possible to improve the search time without sacrificing the exactness?. Our solution, {it K-dash}, is based on two ideas: (1) It computes the proximity of a selected node efficiently by sparse matrices, and (2) It skips unnecessary proximity computations when searching for the top-k nodes. Theoretical analyses show that K-dash guarantees result exactness. We perform comprehensive experiments to verify the efficiency of K-dash. The results show that K-dash can find top-k nodes significantly faster than the previous approaches while it guarantees exactness.

Betweenness centrality, measured by the number of times a vertex occurs on all shortest paths of a graph, has been recognized as a key indicator for the importance of a vertex in the network. However, the betweenness of a vertex is often very hard to compute because it needs to explore all the shortest paths between the other vertices. Recently, a relaxed concept called ego-betweenness was introduced which focuses on computing the betweenness of a vertex in its ego network. In this work, we study a problem of finding the top-k vertices with the highest ego-betweennesses. We first develop two novel search algorithms equipped with a basic upper bound and a dynamic upper bound to efficiently solve this problem. Then, we propose local-update and lazy-update solutions to maintain the ego-betweennesses for all vertices and the top-k results when the graph is updated, respectively. In addition, we also present two efficient parallel algorithms to further improve the efficiency. The results of extensive experiments on five large real-life datasets demonstrate the efficiency, scalability, and effectiveness of our algorithms.
Trajectory similarity computation is a fundamental component in a variety of real-world applications, such as ridesharing, road planning, and transportation optimization. Recent advances in mobile devices have enabled an unprecedented increase in the amount of available trajectory data such that efficient query processing can no longer be supported by a single machine. As a result, means of performing distributed in-memory trajectory similarity search are called for. However, existing distributed proposals suffer from either computing resource waste or are unable to support the range of similarity measures that are being used. We propose a distributed in-memory management framework called REPOSE for processing top-k trajectory similarity queries on Spark. We develop a reference point trie (RP-Trie) index to organize trajectory data for local search. In addition, we design a novel heterogeneous global partitioning strategy to eliminate load imbalance in distributed settings. We report on extensive experiments with real-world data that offer insight into the performance of the solution, and show that the solution is capable of outperforming the state-of-the-art proposals.
Top-k query processing finds a list of k results that have largest scores w.r.t the user given query, with the assumption that all the k results are independent to each other. In practice, some of the top-k results returned can be very similar to eac h other. As a result some of the top-k results returned are redundant. In the literature, diversified top-k search has been studied to return k results that take both score and diversity into consideration. Most existing solutions on diversified top-k search assume that scores of all the search results are given, and some works solve the diversity problem on a specific problem and can hardly be extended to general cases. In this paper, we study the diversified top-k search problem. We define a general diversified top-k search problem that only considers the similarity of the search results themselves. We propose a framework, such that most existing solutions for top-k query processing can be extended easily to handle diversified top-k search, by simply applying three new functions, a sufficient stop condition sufficient(), a necessary stop condition necessary(), and an algorithm for diversified top-k search on the current set of generated results, div-search-current(). We propose three new algorithms, namely, div-astar, div-dp, and div-cut to solve the div-search-current() problem. div-astar is an A* based algorithm, div-dp is an algorithm that decomposes the results into components which are searched using div-astar independently and combined using dynamic programming. div-cut further decomposes the current set of generated results using cut points and combines the results using sophisticated operations. We conducted extensive performance studies using two real datasets, enwiki and reuters. Our div-cut algorithm finds the optimal solution for diversified top-k search problem in seconds even for k as large as 2,000.
Utility-driven itemset mining is widely applied in many real-world scenarios. However, most algorithms do not work for itemsets with negative utilities. Several efficient algorithms for high-utility itemset (HUI) mining with negative utilities have b een proposed. These algorithms can find complete HUIs with or without negative utilities. However, the major problem with these algorithms is how to select an appropriate minimum utility (minUtil) threshold. To address this issue, some efficient algorithms for extracting top-k HUIs have been proposed, where parameter k is the quantity of HUIs to be discovered. However, all of these algorithms can solve only one part of the above problem. In this paper, we present a method for TOP-k high-utility Itemset disCovering (TOPIC) with positive and negative utility values, which utilizes the advantages of the above algorithms. TOPIC adopts transaction merging and database projection techniques to reduce the database scanning cost, and utilizes minUtil threshold raising strategies. It also uses an array-based utility technique, which calculates the utility of itemsets and upper bounds in linear time. We conducted extensive experiments on several real and synthetic datasets, and the results showed that TOPIC outperforms state-of-the-art algorithm in terms of runtime, memory costs, and scalability.
Episode discovery from an event is a popular framework for data mining tasks and has many real-world applications. An episode is a partially ordered set of objects (e.g., item, node), and each object is associated with an event type. This episode can also be considered as a complex event sub-sequence. High-utility episode mining is an interesting utility-driven mining task in the real world. Traditional episode mining algorithms, by setting a threshold, usually return a huge episode that is neither intuitive nor saves time. In general, finding a suitable threshold in a pattern-mining algorithm is a trivial and time-consuming task. In this paper, we propose a novel algorithm, called Top-K High Utility Episode (THUE) mining within the complex event sequence, which redefines the previous mining task by obtaining the K highest episodes. We introduce several threshold-raising strategies and optimize the episode-weighted utilization upper bounds to speed up the mining process and effectively reduce the memory cost. Finally, the experimental results on both real-life and synthetic datasets reveal that the THUE algorithm can offer six to eight orders of magnitude running time performance improvement over the state-of-the-art algorithm and has low memory consumption.
