Cardinality Estimation of Subgraph Matching: A Filtering-Sampling Approach
Summary: FaSTest prunes candidate isomorphic embeddings via aggressive structural filtering and employs adaptive tree sampling for low-variance subgraph cardinality estimates. Adds a worst-case optimal stratified sampler for hard instances; shows up to 100× (sampling) and 1000× (GNN) accuracy gains on real graphs.
