Effective and Efficient Community Search over Large Heterogeneous Information Networks

Summary: Community search over large heterogeneous information networks (HINs) using meta-paths to yield type-consistent dense subgraphs containing the query. Proposes meta-path-augmented minimum-degree cohesiveness and efficient algorithms; experiments on five real HINs show effectiveness and speedups over baselines.
