SkyGraph: Retrieving Regions of Interest using Skyline Subgraph Queries

Summary: Models region-of-interest selection as skyline subgraph queries over keyword-embedded road networks, avoiding a fixed size–relevance tradeoff. SkyGraph gives a polynomial-time approximation, while the Partner Index prunes search and achieves up to orders-of-magnitude speedups. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
