Capturing Associations in Graphs
Summary: Introduces graph association rules (GARs): a pattern+dependency formalism (with ML) to capture regularities, missing links, and inconsistencies in schemaless graphs. Chase-based deduction with Church–Rosser; NP/NP and coNP bounds, DP incremental deduction; parallel algorithms with real/synthetic graph validation. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
