PLAYPEN: Plug-and-Play Visual Graph Query Interfaces for Top-down and Bottom-Up Search on Large Networks
Summary: Data-driven, plug-and-play engine to automatically build visual subgraph query interfaces for large networks. Given a network G and plug specification b, PLAYPEN auto-populates VQI components, enabling portable top-down and bottom-up graph search across domains. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
