A Comparative Study of Discovering Frequent Subgraphs – Approaches and Techniques
Main Article Content
Abstract
Graph mining is an important research vertical, and recently, graphs have become increasingly imperative in modeling problematic complex structures such as electrical circuits, chemical compounds, protein structures, bioinformatics, social networks, workflow diagrams, and XML documents. A Plethora of graph mining algorithms has been developed, and the primary objective of this
paper is to present a detailed survey regarding the approaches and techniques employed to find the issues and complexities involved.
