Beyond Triangles: A Distributed Framework for Estimating 3-profiles of Large Graphs

AbstractWe study the problem of approximating the $3$-profile of a large graph. $3$-profiles are generalizations of triangle counts that specify the number of times a small graph appears as an induced subgraph of a large graph. Our algorithm uses the novel concept of $3$-profile sparsifiers: sparse graphs that can be used to approximate the full $3$-profile counts for a given large graph. Further, we study the problem of estimating local and ego $3$-profiles, two graph quantities that characterize the local neighborhood of each vertex of a graph.
Our algorithm is distributed and operates as a vertex program over the GraphLab PowerGraph framework. We introduce the concept of edge pivoting which allows us to collect $2$-hop information without maintaining an explicit $2$-hop neighborhood list at each vertex. This enables the computation of all the local $3$-profiles in parallel with minimal communication.
We test out implementation in several experiments scaling up to $640$ cores on Amazon EC2. We find that our algorithm can estimate the $3$-profile of a graph in approximately the same time as triangle counting. For the harder problem of ego $3$-profiles, we introduce an algorithm that can estimate profiles of hundreds of thousands of vertices in parallel, in the timescale of minutes.
