Budgeted Strong Community Search in Heterogeneous Graphs

Summary: StrCom: use meta-path counts to quantify relationship strength; defines Budgeted Strong Community (BSC) with a size budget and shows BSC is NP-hard and not in APX. Proposes Shrink/Expand/Hybrid algorithms with optimizations; reports 3.5–107× PathSim and 2–5 orders gains over baselines. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 11 2026)
