Abstract:

Graphs have more expressive power and are widely used today, and various
applications of social computing trigger the pressing need of graph
search. In this talk, we first briefly discuss the challenges of graph
search. We then introduce introduce several useful query and data
techniques towards efficient and effective big graph search. Finally, we
summarize this talk and discuss future work.
