Abstract

Although exploratory search has received significant attention recently in the context of structured data, scant attention has been paid for graph-structured data. In this paper, we present two novel index structures called VACCINE and ADVISE to efficiently support exploratory subgraph search in a visual environment (VESS). VACCINE is an offline, feature-based index that stores rich information related to frequent and infrequent subgraphs in the underlying graph database and how they can be transformed from one subgraph to another. ADVISE, on the other hand, is an adaptive, compact, on-the-fly index instantiated during iterative visual formulation/reformulation of a subgraph query for exploratory search and records relevant information to efficiently support its repeated evaluation. These indexes engender more efficient and scalable visual exploratory subgraph search framework compared to a state-of-the-art technique.
