The problem of finding dense components of a graph is a widely explored area in data analysis, with diverse applications in fields and branches of study including community mining, spam detection, computer security and bioinformatics. This research project explores previously available algorithms in order to study them and identify potential modifications that could result in an improved version with considerable performance and efficiency leap. Furthermore, efforts were also steered towards devising a novel algorithm for the problem of densest subgraph discovery. This paper presents an improved implementation of a widely used densest subgraph discovery algorithm and a novel parallel algorithm which produces better results than a 2-approximation.

Subgraph counting is a fundamental problem in analyzing massive graphs, often studied in the context of social and complex networks. There is a rich literature on designing efficient, accurate, and scalable algorithms for this problem. In this work,
we tackle this challenge and design several new algorithms for subgraph counting in the Massively Parallel Computation (MPC) model: Given a graph $G$ over $n$ vertices, $m$ edges and $T$ triangles, our first main result is an algorithm that, with high probability, outputs a $(1+varepsilon)$-approximation to $T$, with optimal round and space complexity provided any $S geq max{(sqrt m, n^2/m)}$ space per machine, assuming $T=Omega(sqrt{m/n})$. Our second main result is an $tilde{O}_{delta}(log log n)$-rounds algorithm for exactly counting the number of triangles, parametrized by the arboricity $alpha$ of the input graph. The space per machine is $O(n^{delta})$ for any constant $delta$, and the total space is $O(malpha)$, which matches the time complexity of (combinatorial) triangle counting in the sequential model. We also prove that this result can be extended to exactly counting $k$-cliques for any constant $k$, with the same round complexity and total space $O(malpha^{k-2})$. Alternatively, allowing $O(alpha^2)$ space per machine, the total space requirement reduces to $O(nalpha^2)$. Finally, we prove that a recent result of Bera, Pashanasangi and Seshadhri (ITCS 2020) for exactly counting all subgraphs of size at most $5$, can be implemented in the MPC model in $tilde{O}_{delta}(sqrt{log n})$ rounds, $O(n^{delta})$ space per machine and $O(malpha^3)$ total space. Therefore, this result also exhibits the phenomenon that a time bound in the sequential model translates to a space bound in the MPC model.
Force-directed algorithms are widely used to generate aesthetically pleasing layouts of graphs or networks arisen in many scientific disciplines. To visualize large-scale graphs, several parallel algorithms have been discussed in the literature. Howe
ver, existing parallel algorithms do not utilize memory hierarchy efficiently and often offer limited parallelism. This paper addresses these limitations with BatchLayout, an algorithm that groups vertices into minibatches and processes them in parallel. BatchLayout also employs cache blocking techniques to utilize memory hierarchy efficiently. More parallelism and improved memory accesses coupled with force approximating techniques, better initialization, and optimized learning rate make BatchLayout significantly faster than other state-of-the-art algorithms such as ForceAtlas2 and OpenOrd. The visualization quality of layouts from BatchLayout is comparable or better than similar visualization tools. All of our source code, links to datasets, results and log files are available at https://github.com/khaled-rahman/BatchLayout.
Densest subgraph detection is a fundamental graph mining problem, with a large number of applications. There has been a lot of work on efficient algorithms for finding the densest subgraph in massive networks. However, in many domains, the network is
private, and returning a densest subgraph can reveal information about the network. Differential privacy is a powerful framework to handle such settings. We study the densest subgraph problem in the edge privacy model, in which the edges of the graph are private. We present the first sequential and parallel differentially private algorithms for this problem. We show that our algorithms have an additive approximation guarantee. We evaluate our algorithms on a large number of real-world networks, and observe a good privacy-accuracy tradeoff when the network has high density.
For over a decade now we have been witnessing the success of {em massive parallel computation} (MPC) frameworks, such as MapReduce, Hadoop, Dryad, or Spark. One of the reasons for their success is the fact that these frameworks are able to accurately
capture the nature of large-scale computation. In particular, compared to the classic distributed algorithms or PRAM models, these frameworks allow for much more local computation. The fundamental question that arises in this context is though: can we leverage this additional power to obtain even faster parallel algorithms? A prominent example here is the {em maximum matching} problem---one of the most classic graph problems. It is well known that in the PRAM model one can compute a 2-approximate maximum matching in $O(log{n})$ rounds. However, the exact complexity of this problem in the MPC framework is still far from understood. Lattanzi et al. showed that if each machine has $n^{1+Omega(1)}$ memory, this problem can also be solved $2$-approximately in a constant number of rounds. These techniques, as well as the approaches developed in the follow up work, seem though to get stuck in a fundamental way at roughly $O(log{n})$ rounds once we enter the near-linear memory regime. It is thus entirely possible that in this regime, which captures in particular the case of sparse graph computations, the best MPC round complexity matches what one can already get in the PRAM model, without the need to take advantage of the extra local computation power. In this paper, we finally refute that perplexing possibility. That is, we break the above $O(log n)$ round complexity bound even in the case of {em slightly sublinear} memory per machine. In fact, our improvement here is {em almost exponential}: we are able to deliver a $(2+epsilon)$-approximation to maximum matching, for any fixed constant $epsilon>0$, in $O((log log n)^2)$ rounds.
Sequential recommendation is a task in which one models and uses sequential information about user behavior for recommendation purposes. We study sequential recommendation in a particularly challenging context, in which multiple individual users shar
e asingle account (i.e., they have a shared account) and in which user behavior is available in multiple domains (i.e., recommendations are cross-domain). These two characteristics bring new challenges on top of those of the traditional sequential recommendation task. First, we need to identify the behavior associated with different users and different user roles under the same account in order to recommend the right item to the right user role at the right time. Second, we need to identify behavior in one domain that might be helpful to improve recommendations in other domains. In this work, we study shared account cross-domain sequential recommendation and propose Parallel Split-Join Network (PSJNet), a parallel modeling network to address the two challenges above. We present two variants of PSJNet, PSJNet-I and PSJNet-II. PSJNet-I is a split-by-join framework that splits the mixed representations to get role-specific representations and joins them to obtain cross-domain representations at each timestamp simultaneously. PSJNet-II is a split-and-join framework that first splits role-specific representations at each timestamp, and then the representations from all timestamps and all roles are joined to obtain cross-domain representations. We use two datasets to assess the effectiveness of PSJNet. Our experimental results demonstrate that PSJNet outperforms state-of-the-art sequential recommendation baselines in terms of MRR and Recall.
