Counting and Sampling Triangles from a Graph Stream
Summary: Space-efficient streaming algorithm for counting and sampling triangles (and constant-sized cliques) in massive graphs, one-pass with low memory. Outperforms prior work in space and time, with a simple implementation and strong practical performance on large-scale data. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
