Effective and Efficient Community Search Over Large Directed Graphs

Communities are prevalent in social networks, knowledge graphs, and biological networks. Recently, the topic of community search (CS), extracting a dense subgraph containing a query vertex q from a graph, has received great attention. However, existing CS solutions are designed for undirected graphs, and overlook directions of edges which potentially lose useful information carried on directions. In many applications (e.g., Twitter), users'...
