READS: A Random Walk Approach for Efficient and Accurate Dynamic SimRank

Summary: READS proposes a random-walk based indexing scheme to compute SimRank efficiently and accurately on large, evolving graphs. Dynamic maintenance under updates with this indexing yields superior performance over both static and dynamic SimRank baselines. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
