TopPPR: Top-k Personalized PageRank Queries with Precision Guarantees on Large Graphs
Summary: TopPPR delivers top-k PPR queries with rho-precision guarantees (at least rho of the true top-k) and 1-1/n probability. No preprocessing, handles dynamic graphs, and scales to large graphs, e.g., 15s for top-500 on a billion-edge Twitter graph with rho=1.
