Graph Indexing: A Frequent Structure-based Approach

Summary: gIndex uses frequent substructures as the indexing feature, replacing path-based graph indexing. It yields ~10× smaller index and 3–10× faster queries than GraphGrep, with stable updates; extends to sequences/trees, illustrating mining-based indexing. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
