Interactive Graph Search Made Simple
Summary: An algorithmic framework for Interactive Graph Search that reduces design to two black-box operations. Simple black-box instantiations yield optimal interaction rounds and substantially lower CPU time, with extensive real/synthetic validation. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
