Say we have network snapshots as below: G1 = {l1, l2, l3} G2 = {l2, l3, l4} G3 = {l1, l2, l4} G4 = {l1, l2, l3}

We aren’t interested in the links that are static signals; instead we want to register the “blips”: G’1 = { } G’2 = { } G’3 = {l1} G’4 = {l3}

Network instance = bag of links = set of transactions

Most frequently recurring links = GetFrequentTransactions(allTransactions, minSupport) = GetFrequentTransactions([G’1, …, G’n], minSupport)

Predict individual links of the subgraph. If l subgraph, predict for occurrence of l subgraph, predict for non-occurrence of l. State-of-the-art link prediction methods employed using LPMade suite [Lichtenwalter, R. & Chawla, N. JMLR (2011)].

We use GEDs to contextualize the subgraphs occurrence with respect to the global scenario in the network. Advantages of using GEDs: o  Flexible definition allows for weighted/

unweighted, directed/undirected graphs. o  Inexact matching allows for “unknown”

links in graph instances. o  Near-linear time approximate

implementation [Andoni, A. & Onak, K., SIAM Journal on Computing (2012)].

Networks often exhibit a telltale “build up” to the desired structure. Use these early warning subgraphs as features to predict target subgraph. Learn how these breadcrumbs lead to target subgraph for given data.

Our method achieves high AUROC performance in predicting subgraphs, and outperforms link prediction on:

Commercial cellular phone calls Wikipedia Co-authorship Enron Email Corpus Facebook Wall Posts

Conclusion: We need to think of subgraphs as emergent structures in their own right and not just a composition of links.

Fig 8a (above): How prototypes are selected.

Fig 8b (right): How many prototypes are enough?

Fig 9: If a very broad window is chosen, the fine-grained aspects of recurrence may be lost, and if a very narrow window is chosen, there may be very little difference between two consecutive snapshots.
