Schemaless and Structureless Graph Querying
Summary: SLQ enables schemaless, structureless querying via transformation-driven mapping of keywords to graph matches. A ranking model is learned without labeled data, using graph sketch and belief propagation; plug-in extensibility enables new transformations. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
