Distance-generalized Based(α,β)-core Decomposition on Bipartite Graphs
(α,β)-core decomposition is a fundamental problem in graph analysis,and has been widely adopted for e-commerce fraud detection and interest group recommendation.Nevertheless,(α,β)-core model only considers the distance-1 neighborhood,which makes it unable to provide more fine-grained structure information.Motivated by this,(α,β,h)-core model is proposed in this paper,which requires the vertices in one/another part has at least α other vertices at distance not greater than h within the subgraph.Due to the distance-h neighborhoods being considered,the new model can identify more fine-grained structure informa-tion as verified in our experiments,which also makes the corresponding(α,β,h)-core decomposition challenging.To address this problem,an efficient algorithm based on computation-sharing strategy is proposed and time complexity is analyzed accordingly.As obtaining neighbors within distance h is time-consuming,a lower bound related to(α,β,h)-core is designed to avoid unnecessary distance-h neighbors computation to further improve the computational efficiency.Experimental results on eight real graphs de-monstrate the effectiveness of the proposed model and efficiency of its algorithm.
