On the Complexity of Graph Edit Distance in Restricted Graph Classes

Maximilian Limmer, Nils M. Kriege

The graph edit distance generalizes several well-known NP-hard problems and is therefore NP-hard itself. However, the relationship between the considered graph class, the edit cost…

Approximating the Graph Edit Distance with Compact Neighborhood Representations

Franka Bause, Christian Permann, Nils M. Kriege

The graph edit distance is used for comparing graphs in various domains. Due to its high computational complexity it is primarily approximated. Widely-used heuristics search for an…

On the Two Sides of Redundancy in Graph Neural Networks

Franka Bause, Samir Moustafa, Johannes Langguth +2

Message passing neural networks iteratively generate node embeddings by aggregating information from neighboring nodes. With increasing depth, information from more distant nodes i…

A Higher-Order Temporal H-Index for Evolving Networks

Lutz Oettershagen, Nils M. Kriege, Petra Mutzel

A Temporal Graphlet Kernel for Classifying Dissemination in Evolving Networks

Lutz Oettershagen, Nils M. Kriege, Claude Jordan +1

We introduce the \emph{temporal graphlet kernel} for classifying dissemination processes in labeled temporal graphs. Such dissemination processes can be spreading (fake) news, infe…

Weisfeiler and Leman Go Walking: Random Walk Kernels Revisited

Nils M. Kriege

Random walk kernels have been introduced in seminal work on graph learning and were later largely superseded by kernels based on the Weisfeiler-Leman test for graph isomorphism. We…

Temporal Walk Centrality: Ranking Nodes in Evolving Networks

Lutz Oettershagen, Petra Mutzel, Nils M. Kriege

We propose the Temporal Walk Centrality, which quantifies the importance of a node by measuring its ability to obtain and distribute information in a temporal network. In contrast…

EmbAssi: Embedding Assignment Costs for Similarity Search in Large Graph Databases

Franka Bause, Erich Schubert, Nils M. Kriege

The graph edit distance is an intuitive measure to quantify the dissimilarity of graphs, but its computation is NP-hard and challenging in practice. We introduce methods for answer…

Temporal Graph Kernels for Classifying Dissemination Processes

Lutz Oettershagen, Nils M. Kriege, Christopher Morris +1

Many real-world graphs or networks are temporal, e.g., in a social network persons only interact at specific points in time. This information directs dissemination processes on the…

Deep Weisfeiler-Lehman Assignment Kernels via Multiple Kernel Learning

Nils M. Kriege

Kernels for structured data are commonly obtained by decomposing objects into their parts and adding up the similarities between all pairs of parts measured by a base kernel. Assig…
