Talk Title: Graph Pattern Mining

Abstract: Graphs and networks are ubiquitous, encoding complex relationships ranging from chemical bonds to social interactions. Hidden in these networks are the answers to many important questions in biology, business, and sociology. We are developing a general graph information system to address the needs of searching and mining complex networks in these domains. In this talk, I will introduce the basic concept of graph pattern mining, its algorithms and applications including graph classification and graph search. I will also briefly discuss my recent work on business workflow analysis, malware detection, etc.
