Searching and Detecting Structurally Similar Communities in Large Heterogeneous Information Networks

Summary: Introduce Structurally Similar Community (SSC), a HIN model that encodes vertex structural similarity and roles (core, non-core, hub, outlier) and supports diverse structural-similarity measures. Present fast online query and index-based algorithms to search and detect SSCs in large HINs with empirical validation. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
