Abstract
A method and system for graph mining direction-aware proximity measurements. A directed graph includes nodes and directed edges connecting the nodes. A direction-aware proximity measurement is calculated from a first node to a second node or from a first group of nodes to a second group of nodes. The direction-aware proximity measurement from a first node to second node is based on an escape probability from the first node to the second node. Disclosed herein are methods for efficiently calculating one or multiple direction-aware proximity measurements. The direction-aware proximity measurements can be used in performing various graph mining applications.
