Abstract

What do graphs look like? How do they evolve over time? How to handle a graph with a billion nodes? We present a long list of static and temporal laws, like shrinking diameters and densification. For tools, we give an overview of the PEGASUS system which is designed for handling Billion-node graphs, running on top of the ``hadoop'' system. We show how to extend it to do spectral analysis, as well as tensor decompositions on large, real tensors
