GraMI: Frequent Subgraph and Pattern Mining in a Single Large Graph

Summary: GraMI mines frequent subgraphs directly in one large graph, avoiding exhaustive instance enumeration by finding only the minimal instances needed to meet the support threshold. Extensions support transitive patterns, structural/semantic constraints, and false-positive-free approximation, yielding up to 100× speedups. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
