BEAR: Block Elimination Approach for Random Walk with Restart on Large Graphs
Summary: BEAR reorders the graph adjacency to expose a large invertible block and precomputes its Schur complement for scalable RWR. During queries, it uses block-elimination to compute RWR quickly, and beats prior methods in preprocessing, space, and accuracy.
