In Search of GraphsProfessor Shuai Ma from Beihang University of Beijing visited HKUST on 18 August 2017 and gave a talk on “Towards Big Graph Search: Challenges and Techniques” jointly organized by Department of Computer Science & Engineering and the Big Data Institute.
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, Prof Ma first briefly discussed the challenges of graph search. He then introduced several useful query and data techniques towards efficient and effective big graph search. Finally, he summarized this talk and discussed future work and direction on this area.
