Universal Graph Compression
[an error occurred while processing this directive]
Motivated by the prevalent data science applications of processing and mining large-scale graph data such as social networks, web graphs, and biological networks, as well as the high I/O and communication costs of storing and transmitting such data, lossless compression of data appearing in the form of a labeled graph is investigated. A universal graph compression scheme is proposed, which does not depend on the underlying statistics/distribution of the graph model. For graphs generated by a stochastic block model, which is a widely used random graph model capturing the clustering effects in social networks, the proposed scheme achieves the optimal theoretical limit of lossless compression without the need to know edge probabilities, community labels, or the number of communities.
