Title
Label And Distance-Constraint Reachability Queries In Uncertain Graphs
Abstract
A fundamental research problem concerning edge-labeled uncertain graphs is called label and distance-constraint reachability query (LDCR): Given two vertices u and v, query the probability that u can reach v through paths whose labels and lengths are constrained by a label set and a distance threshold separately. Considering LDCR is not tractable as a #P-complete problem, we aim to propose effective and efficient approximate solutions for it. We first introduce a subpath-based filtering strategy which combines divide-conquer algorithm and branch path pruning to compress the original graph and reduce the scale of DC-tree. Then to approximate LDCR, several estimators are presented based on different sampling mechanisms and a path/cut bound is proposed to prune large-deviation values. An extensive experimental evaluation on both real and synthetic datasets demonstrates that our approaches exhibit prominent performance in term of query time and accuracy.
