Two computer scientists found — in the unlikeliest of places — just the idea they needed to make a big leap in graph theory. This past October, as Jacob Holm and Eva Rotenberg were thumbing through a ...

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: ...

Graphs are everywhere. In discrete mathematics, they are structures that show the connections between points, much like a public transportation network. Mathematicians have long sought to develop ...

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 ...

PageRank is named after Google co-founder Larry Page and is used to rank websites by their importance and quality. Simplified, this is done by assuming that the more links there are to a website, the ...

Graph databases such as Neo4j, TigerGraph, Amazon Neptune, the graph portion of Azure Cosmos DB, and AnzoGraph, the subject of this review, offer a natural representation of data that is primarily ...

Factor graphs are a way to represent graphically the factorization of a function. The sum product algorithm is an algorithm that computes marginals of that function by passing messages on its factor ...
