Association Analysis (7) (Mining Graphs)

Frequent Subgraph Mining Extend association rule mining to finding frequent subgraphs Useful for Web Mining, computational chemistry, spatial data sets, etc Homepage Teaching Databases Data Mining

Bio/Chem-Informatics Each year, new chemical compounds are designed. We know that structure of a compound plays a big role in its chemical properties. However, it is difficult to establish their exact relationship. Frequent subgraph mining can aid by identifying the substructures commonly associated with certain properties of known compounds.

Apriori-Like Approach Support: number of graphs that contain a particular subgraph Apriori principle still holds Level-wise (Apriori-like) approach: Vertex growing: k is the number of vertices Edge growing: k is the number of edges

Apriori-Like Algorithm Generate candidate Merge pairs of frequent (k - 1)-subgraphs to obtain a candidate k-subgraphs. Prune candidates Discard all candidate k-subgraphs that contain infrequent (k - l)-subgraphs. Count support Counting the number of graphs in DB that contain each candidate. Discard all candidate subgraphs whose support counts are less than minsup.

Vertex Growing r The resulting matrix is the first matrix, appended with the last row and last column of the second matrix. The remaining entries of the new matrix are either zero or replaced by all valid edge labels connecting the pair of vertices.

Edge Growing Edge growing inserts a new edge to an existing frequent subgraph during candidate generation. Doesn’t necessarily increase the number of vertices in the original graphs.

Topological equivalence Two vertexes are topologically equivalent if they have: The same label and The same number and label of edges incident to them. v1,v4 are topologically equivalent v2,v3 are topologically equivalent No topologically equivalent vertexes v1,v2,v3,v4 are topologically equivalent

Graph Isomorphism A graph G1 is isomorphic to another graph G2, if G1 is topologically equivalent to G2 Test for graph isomorphism is needed: During candidate generation, to determine whether a candidate can be generated During candidate pruning, to check whether its (k-1)-subgraphs are frequent During candidate counting, to check whether a candidate is contained within another graph, we should use more specialized algorithms (possibly using indexes with each frequent (k-1) sub-graph)

Graph Isomorphism Use canonical labeling to handle isomorphism Map each graph into an ordered string representation (known as its code) such that two isomorphic graphs will be mapped to the same canonical encoding Example: Choose the string representation with the lowest Lexicographical value Then, the graph isomorphism problem can be solved by string matching.
