QTCS: Efficient Query-Centered Temporal Community Search
Summary: Introduces query-centered temporal community search using Time-Constrained Personalized PageRank and a beta-temporal proximity core to fuse temporal proximity to the query with structural cohesiveness, preventing query-drift. Presents an exact near-linear greedy-removal algorithm and an approximate two-stage local search with bound-based pruning; proves drift-avoidance and reports strong empirical gains over nine competitors on eight datasets.
