Learning to rank graphs for online similar graph search
Many applications in structure matching require the ability to search for graphs that are similar to a query graph, i.e., similarity graph queries. Prior works, especially in chemoinformatics, have used the maximum common edge subgraph (MCEG) to compute the graph similarity. This approach is prohibitively slow for real-time queries. In this work, we propose an algorithm that extracts and indexes subgraph features from a graph dataset. It computes the similarity of graphs using a linear graph kernel based on feature weights learned offline from a training set generated using MCEG. We show empirically that our proposed algorithm of learning to rank graphs can achieve higher normalized discounted cumulative gain compared with existing optimal methods based on MCEG. The running time of our algorithm is orders of magnitude faster than these existing methods.
