Circinus: Fast Redundancy-Reduced Subgraph Matching

Summary: Circinus introduces compression-based backtracking to enable computation sharing and cut repeated work in Ullmann-style subgraph matching. Extensive experiments report orders-of-magnitude speedups on standard subgraph matching benchmarks. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
