An Incremental Partitioning Graph Similarity Search Based on Tree Structure Index.

Graph similarity search is a common operation of graph database, and graph editing distance constraint is the most common similarity measure to solve graph similarity search problem. However, accurate calculation of graph editing distance is proved to be NP hard, and the filter and verification framework are adopted in current method. In this paper, a dictionary tree based clustering index structure is proposed to reduce the cost of candidate graph, and is verified in the filtering stage. An efficient incremental partition algorithm was designed. By calculating the distance between query graph and candidate graph partition, the filtering effect was further enhanced. Experiments on real large graph datasets show that the performance of this algorithm is significantly better than that of the existing algorithms.
