Fast Local Subgraph Counting
Summary: Tree-decomposition-based method for local k-node subgraph counting Q=(p,o): decompose pattern p into best tree T and reduce global subgraph-isomorphism to a constrained homomorphism on T plus per-tree-node subgraph-isomorphisms. Applies symmetry-breaking and a novel multi-join algorithm to speed per-node isomorphism counts; single-core single-machine implementation outperforms prior approaches and is aimed at producing GNN-ready node features.
