Interactive Graph Search
Summary: Defines Interactive Graph Search (IGS) for acyclic graphs, where a machine asks a human whether there is a path from a chosen node u to the target z to guide the search. Delivers algorithms with provable near-optimal query counts and matching lower bounds, plus experiments on real data. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
