Abstract
One or more all-distances sketches are generated for nodes in a graph. An all-distances sketch for a node includes a subset of the nodes of the graph, and a shortest distance between the node and each of the nodes in the subset of nodes. The generated all-distances sketches are used to estimate the closeness similarity of nodes. The estimated closeness similarity can be used for targeted advertising or for content item recommendation, for example.
