Discovering Large Dense Subgraphs in Massive Graphs

Summary: Shingles-based recursive fingerprinting for large dense subgraphs in massive graphs; scalable on a single machine to tens of billions of edges. On a 50M-host, 11B-edge Web graph, it finds hundreds of giant dense subgraphs and proposes dense-subgraph extraction for spam detection in search engines. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
