Graph labeling is a central topic in combinatorial optimisation that involves assigning numerical or categorical labels to vertices or edges of a graph subject to specific constraints. This framework ...

Graph algorithms and processing form the backbone of numerous applications across science and industry, ranging from social network analysis to large-scale data management. The field has evolved to ...

A puzzle that has long flummoxed computers and the scientists who program them has suddenly become far more manageable. A new algorithm efficiently solves the graph isomorphism problem, computer ...

A professor has helped create a powerful new algorithm that uncovers hidden patterns in complex networks, with potential uses in fraud detection, biology and knowledge discovery. University of ...

In algorithms, as in life, negativity can be a drag. Consider the problem of finding the shortest path between two points on a graph — a network of nodes connected by links, or edges. Often, these ...

Back in the hazy olden days of the pre-2000s, navigating between two locations generally required someone to whip out a paper map and painstakingly figure out the most optimal route between those ...

Graph processing at hyperscale has historically been a challenge because of the sheer complexity of algorithms and graph workflows. Alibaba has been tackling this issue via a project called GraphScope ...

Most of you have used a navigation app like Google Maps for your travels at some point. These apps rely on algorithms that compute shortest paths through vast networks. Now imagine scaling that task ...

It hadn’t occurred to me in quite these terms before, but Google has an algorithm for its Knowledge Graph. I have been tracking the Knowledge Graph API for five years. The resultScores have always ...

Like the core algorithm, Google’s Knowledge Graph periodically updates. But little has been known about how, when, and what it means — until now. I believe these updates consist of three things: ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. If you want to solve a tricky problem, it often helps to get organized. You might, for example, break the problem into pieces and tackle ...
